#doesn't sound like Rayman but sounds like he COULD be Rayman

[cicicolorao]

Got any Voice headcanons for Rayman characters?

Here’s a few of mine

Rayman: David Gasman same as before

Betilla: Lily Tomlin (Ms. Frizzle voice just feels right for her)

R1 Magician: Tom Kenny

RO Magician (Ales): Alan Tudyk

Mr. Dark: Keith David

Teensie Queen: Tress MacNeille

Ok, I needed a second because I have a lot of thoughts and this is very long and has a gallilion links.

Whole explanation under the cut.

BETILLA FIRST.

I think for canon Betilla, specifically, her voice in junior is perfect.

She has a mid-pitch voice, is very tender and soothing, and speaks very slowly but not in a condescending way, more like she's making sure to be clear and concise. A combination of a grade-school teacher and a mother.

She's perfect for canon Betilla, but she's not the voice claim for my Betilla.

My Betilla sounds more like she does in Activity Center.

She's a lot higher pitched and more playful, and arguably a little bit ditzy. Betilla is a bit of a silly character in my canon, not really stupid but a lot less settled in her role as a mentor. She's also more animated, which is why her Activity Center voice fits better. It switches from sing-song, to playfully accusatory, to quick to apologize and laugh off her mistake, which is a lot different than the sure and elegant way she speaks in Junior.

Of course, if her Activity Center voice is a bit grating, a substitute is always available!

Amalthea is also a good candidate for Betilla in my head, especially as she grows into her role as head nymph and mentor. In my head it's a nice combination of both Betillas, slow and elegant, but it still cracks, it sounds somewhat youthful, it even has a bit of a tremble behind it. While it's better suited for Betilla's more serious moments, I still think it fits her nicely, with how delicate but how emotional it is. It's a voice with a lot of heart behind it.

SPEAKING OF LAST UNICORN I can jump to Ales. I will get to the more iconic stuff, but first I want to share a personal headcanon: while his excitement and emotions are genuine and even over the top, he naturally has a flat voice, similar to how Alan Arkin plays Schmendrick in the movie. He purposely hams up his inflection for the sake of entertainment and to make people laugh.

AS FOR HIS HAM AND CHEESING. OBVIOUSLY. His Rayman 1 voice. It's iconic. It's loud. It's dramatic. He sounds like he's rolling his eyes once or twice. Who the fuck would I be if I didn't let him keep his goofy ass voice

I will say, however, I can see the European version of his voice working for canon Magician. It's a lot sweeter and almost emotional, this guy is definitely genuine, if still having fun here and there with some sass.

As for when he's going nuts with the EVIL act, I think about Shadow Milk Cookie.

Shadow Milk and The Magician sound very similar to me, high pitched and a bit nasally, and of course they keep the entertainer personas going on. But SM is so so loud, so so unhinged, the voice is so perfect for a CACKLE. It's what Ales deserves once he's done pretending to be an ally.

I think Tony Todd works very well for Mr Dark in my head. He has that deep. rumbly, kinda menacing voice, but Mr Todd's voice is also very whispery, almost soothing.

He's a common actor in horror films, and his characters in Candyman and Final Destination are mysterious and ominous, so his performances are wispy and hushed. His voice performance fits a smoky character like Mr Dark, more so since his past involved being a living lullaby of sorts, a blanketing darkness that brings deep, restful sleep.

a voice that can be both comforting and terrifying.

NOW FOR QUEENIE MY QUEEEEEEN.

AND I WILL USE THIS MOMENT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. When I say voice headcanons I really do mean "voice references" and not a hypothetical casting list because, frankly, I would rather Queenie not played by a cis man in an imaginary project with voice acting. What I DO want is for Queenie to sound like this: high pitched, using a very confident and regal inflection, but not really feminizing the voice itself, if that makes sense. Think of it like Dr Girlfriend from Venture Brothers. Women with deep/masculine voices my beloved.

I am transmasculine with a very high pitched, very girly voice which

Bothers me

But being able to enjoy characters with "opposite" voices brings me peace and joy.

| rayman, ramon & raymesis x reader.

| relationship hcs.

personal song of choice: in my room, by insane clown posse.

i've seen so many rayman edits to this song, it now has him written alll over it. fuuuuuuckkkkkkk. do i write smut? (probably). just take this for now.

| tw:: foul language, raymesis/j, my own hcs, self indulgence, (heavy?)angst, they're all struggling, this is not proof read.

[ a/n:: we need more rayman. i'm still new to writing fanfics(aside my horrid watpad {i forgot how to spell it} phase.) forgive my errors and i hopefully plan to write more of him. he haunts my nightmares(lovingly). i'm ill rn, and wrote most of this in a sleep deprived craze for more rayman. first time writing these characters-- forgive me. ]

(soh/game)rayman.

i feel like he'd be the type to randomly pinch you especially when he feels like he's being ignored, or when you're 'busy'.

he always does it when you least expect it. sitting on the couch, scrolling on your phone/reading a book? pinch. getting something to drink? pinch. stargazing? pinch.

loves the little reactions he gets from you. giggles over it. i bet he kicks his feet too.

definitely the type to swipe food from your plate when you're not looking, then gaslight you about it.

you're missing a potato wedge? nuh-uh. you're crazy. how dare you assume that your handsome, loving, amazing boyfriend would ever steal from you. the betrayal...(he did it.)

i like to think he enjoys hand kisses. random thought, but i dunno. i think he'd like to kiss your palms as a source of reassurance, and of course receiving the same affection back would probably give him a heart attack. in a good way of course.

or when you're a bit stressed in public and hold onto the back of his hoodie. like slightly holding onto the fabric where it's almost unnoticeable. probably the cutest thing you could ever do in his eyes. (that or giving him a lil kiss.)

silly things aside, he stuggles a lot. his failures that haunt him day in and out, he's scared to know how long it takes before he fails you too.

simple mistakes can lead to him getting stressed or overwhelmed as he doesn't leave any room for his 'failures', even with something so simple as accidentally knocking something over, breaking stuff, etc... he truly believes that you are one mistake away from leaving him.

he tries to be forgiving of all things with consideration of course, but often times it backfires. he has a naïve view that everyone can, and will change. he wants to believe that they will change for the better, even if the person chooses not to change, or to change for the worse. he blames himself when things go south because of that, he wants to give someone a second chance, but sometimes do they really deserve it? he tells himself he should know better by now, and it was all nothing but wishful thinking. very forgiving for others, but the rules don't apply to himself.

be patient with him, and reassure him whenever you get the chance. he really needs it.

his sleep schedule is the most horrendous schedule you will have ever seen. it's teetering between a full on coma, or staying awake for days on end. he loves taking naps, but sometimes he just can't-- he has work to do. remind him breaks are necessary. force him to sleep when he needs it. for his naps(comas), i don't know. cry? if there's one thing that'll wake him up is the sound of you in distress.

rayman is a sucker for pet names. he will be a puddle of goo in you're hands.

you're in another room, and he's just lounging about. the next moment you're calling for him, needing his help with something? he's right there. like right behind you.

lives for simplicity. babe, baby, sweetheart, honey, hun/hon. consider whatever you need done. he's so whipped for you.

he's also pretty good with pda. again, the pinching. public, private, it doesn't matter. that cute little pout on you're face is something he'd kill for.

personally, i prefer the earlier games personality traits as opposed to (i believe)origins. i do enjoy the childish behavior, however i do believe his immaturity does have a limit. (living for soh!rayman.)

definitely the type to crack the funniest jokes at the worst times imaginable. it's his secret talent.

that, and hitting you with a one liner when you're both faced with a terrible situation. except that one liner is just so good-- you have to at least give him credit for that.

huge soft spot for sentimental gifts. always putting them somehwere safe, and when enough time passes, he likes to go over each and every one. reminiscing about all the little things.

raymesis.

[middle child energy.]

'a hot tempered psycho who's looking to destroy rayman's reputation'. not my words-- it's the wiki's.

with canonical anger issues under his belt(?), he's a bit more brash than the other two. when realizing he may like you, he may turn against you in almost violent ways. but, he hesistates everytime. always missing by a hair.

it takes him a while before he'd able to ever consider that maybe being vulnerable is okay-- just this once.

suprisingly a tad bit cautious of 'being nicer' to you, but he's trying his best.

raymesis is a thing-a-majig with a serious identity crisis.

i like to think that the some of the 4-5 vers. of the evil clones of rayman are just him having multiple 'phases'. it's fun to think of.

on a more serious note: he often feels like he's nothing but a lesser-- a shadow of the heroic rayman. maybe he looks up to him in a way, and finds jealousy in how he can just...keep going. how he's able to be so open, and forgive other so easily despite their past transgressions. he finds it unfair: why is it so difficult for him, but so easy for rayman. he's a clone of him, sure an evil clone, but a clone nonetheless. that's where the deep, dark spiral comes in.

linking to that he struggles to be nice, vulnerable, or open with you. he's supposed to be an evil clone of some heroic figure, and yet he's falling over himself because of you. in his own way, he gets extremely upset-- it pisses him off. he tries to be mean to you, but he can't bring himself to do so. he's supposed to be a 'bad person', but hurting you makes him seem like more of a monster than a villain.

this will all take time for him to process, the best thing you can do is be patient, listen to him rant, and just try and be there for him.

you have definitely mellowed him out, just a bit. he's still an asshole to rayman/j.

they're more like bickering siblings who never get along.

do not expect 'family(?)' dinners to go well.

i feel like mr.dark and the nymphs have serious beef with eachother. wwe smack downs every 'family(?)' dinner. always bet on the nymphs.

wouldn't it be cute for the nymphs to treat raymesis like their son too? just adopting him one day without him knowing? scolding him for lighting that one house down the street on fire?

raymesis doesn't like christmas trees.

there seems to be a reoccurring joke in the descriptions that claim raymesis is 'ugly' despite the fact he's a near clone of rayman. this always leaves him in a puddle of confusion with his confidence always shot. please tell him he's pretty once in a while-- he won't accept the compliment, but he'll think about it for days.

he's not used to praise, and can't take compliments. poor buddy.

he definitely bites. a lot.

of course he's a little more careful with you, he still bites now and again. i feel like he's an agressive lover. wanting to squeeze the life out of things he finds 'cute' without ever admitting it.

he has a purple tongue. that's kinda cool. i like to think he probably has a tongue piercing too? i feel like he's the type.

definitely plenty of pent up feelings that he has a hard time expressing.

but pda? oh yeah. lives for it. his hands always has to be on you in one way or another. get's all agitated, and sulks when you pull you're hand away from his to pick something up, or to rummage through your bag. how dare you-- you owe a huge apology.

pet names; babe/baby, sweetheart, creature, mine, stupid/idiot(lovingly). he's very silly with these.

he has a hard time believing you'd ever choose him compared to the hero, rayman. with time maybe he'll learn you love him, and choose him because he's your first choice.

(superiority complex.)

he may not be the best person, but he's at least willing to learn to be better in his own way.

ramon.

can we all agree on the amount of trust issues this man has right about now? good.

after the betrayal with eden whether you've been in his life for years or not, he finds it hard to put everything out in front. it'll take him some time to rebuild trust after what eden did. and no, him needing to rebuild the trust has nothing to do with you! (i mean that in a good way.) you did nothing wrong(unless you did) in his eyes but, he used to believe eden was his everything. and with that, eden took everything. he worries that with time they'll take you too.

give him reassurance, quality time, the whole mile. remind him you're not going anywhere.

while cuddling in bed(couch, etc) probably the type to refuse to let you go to the bathroom because he doesn't want to let you go.

honestly, very romantic.

he loves fruit, and chocolate covered fruit too.

will buy you some, but steals a few pieces when you're not looking. he's sneaky like that.

also known that he likes sushi, but i feel like he probably has beef with the conveyer belt things. probably a bad experience, or he's mad at it for no reason.

i think he likes habatchi. it's very entertaining.

he's the type to tell the most outrageous stories out of the blue. he's the absolute king of 'i used to know a friend'.

probably kept up with everyone's drama as the news host. stays awake at night thinking about it sometimes.

y'know when someone tells you a joke and you don't get it at first? this is him figuring out what they meant at like 2:30 am.

another terrible sleep schedule. like absolutely horrendous.

he probably has nightmares about his time as a news host. thinking of the lies he used to spread. how much each one impacted someone elses life.

wakes up in a cold sweat. ends up focusing on you're calm breathing, and tries to match it. eventually falls asleep, not before firmly pulling you close to him. even when you wake up, you'll never escape his grasp.

on an alternative route, if you did wake up, he's extremely apologetic. tries to usher you back to sleep. now you're both awake munching on some food watching some shitty trash tv, criticizing why she choose james over percy.

he's not keen on pda. he worries for you're life. it's already a risk for you to be with him-- what if eden sees?

pet names too, but more casual with them behind closed doors. definitely married-couple-core. sweetheart, brat when he's being a pain, or play fighting. hon/hun, baby when he's literally attached to you're hip.

has frequent chronic migraine. enjoys just burying his face into you're stomache and just laying there while you're doing whatever your doing. like a cat.

enjoys the comfortable silence between you two, but small conversation is just as nice.

has guns. you broke a lamp. doesn't let you touch no more./j

he actually prefers you have a gun on your person at all times, even in the comfort of home. you'll never know what could happen when you can't protect yourself.

| the end.

[a/n: sorry it's a little short, but this is my first time writing for these three. addiction is strong, don't do rayman kids.]

[stoic--rose]

over the last two weeks or so ive played through earthbound two and a half times, and mother 1 three times. replaying both back to back repeatedly has made me realize a lot of things

1.) mother 1 is a LOT more open in what it lets you do, where it lets you go, and when. once you open up the train tracks, you're free to go do the rest of the game in pretty much any order you want. hell, you can make it all the way to R7038xx without ever getting a single melody, which i find to be pretty interesting. not only that, but you dont even need to get most of the party members. strictly speaking, the only one you truly need to get is Loid, and that's just to get rid of the rock on the train tracks. and even then, with the use of an exploit i found out about only a few days ago, you can get rid of him and go fight giygas by yourself, which is pretty funny.

2.) mother 1+2 is like, wicked impressive. nevermind the fact that they crammed earthbound onto the gba, they also packaged it with mother 1 as well, and they're both the full games. it ain't no rayman advance kinda deal either where it's a super botched port, like it's a perfectly valid way to play both games, and some people even prefer the gba version of mother 1 since it makes a couple of quality of life improvements. not to mention, they rebuilt both games from the ground up, it's not like they could emulate snes on gba. (i mean, you can emulate NES apparently, since there's that nes classic line of games for the gba, but... this is cooler.) the sound department could... definitely use some work, and the colors look pretty washed out, but there are patches to fix the colors, and if you're playing the game on a real gameboy, i think the sound is the last thing you'd be concerned about. also, apparently some people took the time to apply the earthbound script to the mother 2 half of mother 1+2, and even reprogrammed the text system to have the original fonts and make it non-monospace, which is SUPER impressive. for my second playthrough of earthbound i played it with the new fantran patch, and it's pretty damn slick.

3.) man, fuck the sword of kings. i realized very recently that i'd never fully committed to the sword of kings grind, and decided that this would finally be the time i claim my birth right as a mother fan and do it. and like, it SUCKS. i mean, to begin, yes it's annoying that it's a 1/128 chance, but it goes deeper than that. the fact that it's only dropped by an enemy that you can potentially never see again, and it's the ONLY item poo can equip as a weapon is pretty fucked up. not to mention, the other enemies that they put in the starman base just absolutely suck, i hate the nuclear power robots so much. they made the grind WAY more painful than it already would have been otherwise. at the very least, i find it to be very gracious that jeff's spy command has the secondary effect of letting you steal whatever item an enemy would have dropped mid battle, just so it doesn't get overwritten by another enemy drop, which by the way YES that can happen, and YES i had it happen to me. it sucks ass. and the worst part is, the sword of kings isn't even that good!! and neither is poo on a gameplay level! you get the guy way later than any other party member, he has all these little catches like not being able to eat american food or equip anything but the kingly items, he gets taken away from you almost immediately after you get him, he just feels really weird. starstorm is pretty cool, but you only get the omega version right before the final area, and you can only use it on the handful of encounters you get there since you can't really use it in the final boss. (i mean technically you can use it in the first phase, if you want to get a biblical reflected beatdown when it hits both pokey and giygas) idk, the guy just isn't all that useful, and it's unfortunate since i really like him on a design level.

i have more words i want to say but honestly i might save them for an entry on my website instead since im very close to the tumblr word limit rn

Good news I find more gifs~

Fruits

He quickly followed behind, "Ah.. to where?"

You push a basket on his chest, "Here take this and follow me." You turn around and start to stroll down in the forest with a happy hum.

You give him a look, "What do you think?"

He huffed realising how stupid his question was, "Okay. But why?"

You coed playfully, "What? The all mighty ray of sunshine don't want to help? Oh, wait, I get it. He was thinking of going back to sleep." You smirked to yourself.

Instead of being offended he hummed with a grin, "Actually laying down doesn't sound too bad right now."

You rolled your eyes, "Well, It's better than sleeping."

"Helping you to collect fruits? Sure." He grinned.

You shook your head, "I am serious. I know you enjoy your little naps but I don't think it won't cause you any trouble helping me with such a small task, right?"

"Who said I won't? Of course I will. You know why?"

"Because you love helping?" You sacrasticly spoke.

He paused, "Well, yes, but it's also because I love helping you."

You shook your head with a smile and grabbed his hoodie dragging him along with you like a little kid. He chuckled at that and quicky caught up to your speed.

You two soon find a nice place to started filling your baskets with fruits. After a while of collecting your eyes landed on his form.

His body screthed up and his hand floated above plucking an apple and put it in the basket. You nibbled with your lip. Since you first laid eyes on him you were always curious and intruged about his anotamy. You aslo never tried to hold his hand before which bothers you a bit knowing he might also notice your avoidance (All couples hand holds after all, right? Would he like that if you do?)... He wasn't weird to you... at least anormal by now... it was just... unusual. You never saw someone like him before, your hesitation is normal, right?

What you mean is... you were just afraid to somehow hurt him. Physically and emotionally. You continue observing him in deep thoughts.

As Rayman reached out to grab another apple, he suddenly froze. He found the new weight and warmth on his back unusual but nothing to alarmed about. His lips turned into a small smile as you leaned on your body against his, it wasn't something you did all the time causing him to also raise a brow in question. Was something wrong? Before he could say anything you spoke, “Should we measure our hands?” With that soft spoken question he blinked in surprise and turn to you. But he didn't question.

"Sure."

He step back and raise his hand out to you. He saw you hesitate as you extended your own towards his. He turned his eyes to yours, hoping that he is at least reasuring you in some way.

When you pressed your hands together, you had a strange feeling. Like electricity going through your body, causing you to want to launch back... Maybe because of you were excited or maybe afraid? You didn't know how to explain this feeling. It felt like... a feeling you had when Rayman was seriously injured before and you couldn't bear to touch him during his recovery.

You give a silent sigh and smiled, "Your hands a bit smaller then mine. Only in height though. Yours is longer in width."

He smiled at you and connected his fingers with yours, his grin widen to see the dust of pink growing on your cheeks. "You are right. But I can still wrap your whole hand in mine."

You chuchkled, "Y-yeah." You squealed when you suddenly feel your other hand snatched by him and pulled towards his body.

He leaned on you, a hand on your back and the other still holding yours. You yelped when he started moving around. You were really confused and flustered a bit, you quickly and catuisly try to match your steps with his, your eyes on his feet to not accidently step on them.

He gently grabbed your chin and made you face him, "My eyes are up here." He whinked with a warm smile making your heart skip a beat.

You scoffed but your expression quickly softened with how lovingly he was observing you. You flushed away from his gaze.

He slowed down a bit, now you know what he was trying to do. Dancing. With an imaginary song. You smiled at that. How silly. Though you didn't resist. Without even relising your tension quickly fade away. You two start to sync even more in time and moved smoothly. He gently twirled you around and dipped you down causing you to giggle.

He laughed along with you as you both continue dancing around. He gently grabbed your hand and let you hold his shoulders (you actually don't know what to call that) and he rested his hands on your waist. You hummed and laid your head on his chest.

You muttered softly, "I didn't knew you would suddenly start dancing out of no where."

"I'm trying my best thanks a lot."

You snorted at that and look up at him, "How cute of you."

"What do you mean? I am always cute."

You found yourself pressed on his chest as his hand supported your back once again dipping you. You bit your bottom lip, "I never said you weren't. You are quite charming too."

"Say something I don't know, prencess."

"Hmm.." your eyes landed on his lips, you swallowed and quickly looked away, "I guess you know everything I am gonna say, huh?"

Your gazes both met once again, his eyes full of desire matching with yours as he leaned in with a whisper, "I might know what you think too..."

Your eyes fluttered close, his lips even softer on yours than you ever imagined. And they tasted like berries. You felt your back laying on the soft ground as he stood on top of you deepending the kiss causing you to let out a little moan.

You gently pushed him away, your hot bretahs mixing with each other as you both stared deep into each others eyes. He leaned in to leave more kisses all over your face slowly going down to your neck only you to push him away with a stuffed laugh. He grinned down at you as you nibble on your lip still tasing him on them. You raised a playfull brow, "Have you've been eating the berries we were collecting?"

He pondered, "Maybe. So what if I have been?"

He yelped and a grunt escaped his lips when he was flipped, finding himself under you, his cheeks supported a strong blush.

"I'll make you pay for that of course."

He chuckled, "Oh, really? What you gonna do about that?" His words come out a bit shaky in the end.

You slowly leaned in playing with the hem of his hoodie causing hin to shiver slightly, you whispered in his ear,"Do you really wanna find out what I am going to do to you?"

He nodded timidly, curious and excited.

You jumped off off him, "I will deprive you of the fruit cake I will bake, of course." You laugh with his dissapoint and surprise face.

He turn to you with a scoff, "I guess that's not the only thing you are deprivibg me today." He mumled out.

"Come help me to carry these back home will you?"

"Sure." He sighed with a soft smile, shooking his head.

[arthrobug]

Something I thought bout' Bullfrog-

It's been clearly established that Bullfrog's a master of his craft, a very skilled assassin, but one thing I noticed about how skilled he is was during the scene that he was basically properly seen in for the first time, Clip #2; him in the sewers trying to take down the antennae.

In that scene, he explains he can vaguely see the past and future in the bubbles he blows, and his opponents laugh at him, before he catches them off guard with the line: "Would you like to know which one of you will die first?"

How often has he done this with the intent to catch his targets off guard in order to dispatch them?

Additionally, as revealed by Ubisoft, he participated in the Wasteland War, which means he isn't a very young guy, and as far as I know, timeframes aren't established very often in this series, but it doesn't seem like this was an incredibly long time ago. However, considering how different the Warden looked at that time and now, its been a handful of years, and pushing it a little, maybe even a decade since the war. What I'm getting at with the war and how long ago it might've been, is that he has some years on him to know how to read people; he has a large amount of experience.

Does he say something like this whenever he's in a pickle to make his enemies laugh at how random this statement sounds, and then startling them with such a volatile question? Bullfrog's just a cute little frog after all, how dangerous could he really be?

Another thing is that it doesn't exactly seem like he's able to control when he's able to blow the bubbles either. He's cut off by one when he's introducing himself, and has no clue what Rayman is talking about until sometime later, which also establishes on occasion he can tell when they're able to happen, but he has no control over it.

AKA, there's a chance he was lying when he insinuated he saw in a bubble how he killed these three. Bullfrog uses other people's flippant opinions of him to his advantage.

As Rayman reached out to grab another apple, he suddenly froze. He found the new weight and warmth on his back unusual but nothing to alarmed about. His lips turned into a small smile as you leaned on your body against his, it wasn't something you did all the time causing him to also raise a brow in question. Was something wrong? Before he could say anything you spoke, “Should we measure our hands?” With that soft spoken question he blinked in surprise and turn to you. But he didn't question.

"Sure."

He step back and raise his hand out to you. He saw you hesitate as you extended your own towards his. He turned his eyes to yours, hoping that he is at least reasuring you in some way.

When you pressed your hands together, you had a strange feeling. Like electricity going through your body, causing you to want to launch back... Maybe because of you were excited or maybe afraid? You didn't know how to explain this feeling. It felt like... a feeling you had when Rayman was seriously injured before and you couldn't bear to touch him during his recovery.

You give a silent sigh and smiled, "Your hands a bit smaller then mine. Only in height though. Yours is longer in width."

He smiled at you and connected his fingers with yours, his grin widen to see the dust of pink growing on your cheeks. "You are right. But I can still wrap your whole hand in mine."

You chuchkled, "Y-yeah." You squealed when you suddenly feel your other hand snatched by him and pulled towards his body.

He leaned on you, a hand on your back and the other still holding yours. You yelped when he started moving around. You were really confused and flustered a bit, you quickly and catuisly try to match your steps with his, your eyes on his feet to not accidently step on them.

He gently grabbed your chin and made you face him, "My eyes are up here." He whinked with a warm smile making your heart skip a beat.

You scoffed but your expression quickly softened with how lovingly he was observing you. You flushed away from his gaze.

He slowed down a bit, now you know what he was trying to do. Dancing. With an imaginary song. You smiled at that. How silly. Though you didn't resist. Without even relising your tension quickly fade away. You two start to sync even more in time and moved smoothly. He gently twirled you around and dipped you down causing you to giggle.

He laughed along with you as you both continue dancing around. He gently grabbed your hand and let you hold his shoulders (you actually don't know what to call that) and he rested his hands on your waist. You hummed and laid your head on his chest.

You muttered softly, "I didn't knew you would suddenly start dancing out of no where."

"I'm trying my best thanks a lot."

You snorted at that and look up at him, "How cute of you."

"What do you mean? I am always cute."

You found yourself pressed on his chest as his hand supported your back once again dipping you. You bit your bottom lip, "I never said you weren't. You are quite charming too."

"Say something I don't know, prencess."

"Hmm.." your eyes landed on his lips, you swallowed and quickly looked away, "I guess you know everything I am gonna say, huh?"

Your gazes both met once again, his eyes full of desire matching with yours as he leaned in with a whisper, "I might know what you think too..."

Your eyes fluttered close, his lips even softer on yours than you ever imagined. And they tasted like berries. You felt your back laying on the soft ground as he stood on top of you deepending the kiss causing you to let out a little moan.

You gently pushed him away, your hot bretahs mixing with each other as you both stared deep into each others eyes. He leaned in to leave more kisses all over your face slowly going down to your neck only you to push him away with a stuffed laugh. He grinned down at you as you nibble on your lip still tasing him on them. You raised a playfull brow, "Have you've been eating the berries we were collecting?"

He pondered, "Maybe. So what if I have been?"

He yelped and a grunt escaped his lips when he was flipped, finding himself under you, his cheeks supported a strong blush.

"I'll make you pay for that of course."

He chuckled, "Oh, really? What you gonna do about that?" His words come out a bit shaky in the end.

You slowly leaned in playing with the hem of his hoodie causing hin to shiver slightly, you whispered in his ear,"Do you really wanna find out what I am going to do to you?"

He nodded timidly, curious and excited.

You jumped off off him, "I will deprive you of the fruit cake I will bake, of course." You laugh with his dissapoint and surprise face.

He turn to you with a scoff, "I guess that's not the only thing you are deprivibg me today." He mumled out.

"Come help me to carry these back home will you?"

"Sure." He sighed with a soft smile, shooking his head.

~ Baby girl <3 ~

I know i haven't post much and there's a good reason for that...

I may or may not been obsessed with Casper lately...i think the Nasty Dog animation changed me

I understand people might not care all that much for an fan-oc of Captain Laserhawk (i hear you, i'll promise yall smth on the 1 anniversary for Captain Laserhawk) If you don't wanna hear more in depth of Casper, feel free to skip, i just wanna yap 🦊

I keep thinking about Casper and Rayman and them as a dymanic (because there's two technically types of dymanic, one that leans more in canon in Captain Laserhawk and the other leans purely self-indulgent and you could say also experimental with Casper's character that then can be apply to Casper's personality or backstory in general)

"Canon" dymanic: - This is basically completely going along within Captain Laserhawk series (as far as for season 1 at least...). Because of hybrids being treated mainly as slaves and lower class essentially, Casper didn't grew up well with siblings to care of and even his parents cuz they were always off trying to provide some food and because of that. Naturally Casper and his family do not like Rayman for sooo many reasons, purely in the fact that Rayman (pre-Ramon) is fed with propaganda and lies that Eden told him and Rayman has faith in them and so the lies spreads for decades. Casper is a lot more "depressed" if you will, he's still THE funny comedy guy, always taking things sarcastically and never personally or close to his heart (cuz also tehe his entire family basically abandoned him on streets, I still haven't figure out why). Casper does flirt with people and hook ups but it is coping mechanism to deal with loneliness and that people as much as love his jokes and comedies, they don't exactly like him either because talking with him ACTUALLY in person he just comes across asshole and little mean (or in case flirting, very forward or blunt) despite that's how Casper just used to talk like this. I still don't think Casper and Rayman would even be able to meet in any way, shape or form due to very different views and again...Casper openly dislikes Rayman. BUT BUT! They could TECHNICALLY meet for the first time when Rayman is now Ramon, not dealing well at all along with Bullfrog and Dolph, Casper seeing that Ramon's world view is shattered and now changed sides, Casper might struggle to trust Ramon but eventually warming up, maybe also joining along side Ramon, Bullfrog and Dolph (I know it sounds too basic but because I'm still holding up from developing too much in further to wait for SEASON 2 HOPEFULLY)

Self-indulgent dymanic: - As the name implied - this is only purely for me, having fun and doing shits with Casper and Rayman if theoretically they could be a couple and how it would affect. Casper is now OPENLY flirty with most people, same hook ups or one nighters (he's quite a freaky man..) and eventually...yeah it leads to on Rayman with Casper's flirty remarks. I just like to think just imagine Rayman at the bar, drinking some wine or something because he just needs a moment of peace in his own life from being constantly on live shows, the face of Eden, etc. and then random ass hybrid fox man comes in and say "Oh-ho Face of Eden's here ay? Well, y'know you lookin' quite extra spicy" with smirk, raising his eyebrows up and down. Rayman doesn't like Casper much, not because he's a hybrid since Rayman still cares of hybrids and kids despite been ignorant of what Eden did to them. Rayman just dislikes of Casper's constant flirty comments and annoyances, they did eventually become friends (they don't know how either) but they did. They didn't spend a lot of time together because Rayman is always on the clock with Eden's stuffs but whenever THEY DO hang out, like a long distant friend just came by in the town, both realizing they both have this ITCH of feeling...like wanting MORE of this every day, just spending with each other - ending up crushing on each other while both denying in any way. With Casper denying it is similar to "canon" dymanic, he can ACT romantically and all flirty with others, he used with hook ups and all but in ACTUALLY catching feelings feels completely different realm to him and bit uncertain because of fear of being just used as nothing as just "one time off" (his trauma wooo). While Rayman denying is more or less the same, Rayman isn't typically consider a man who goes on all the dates or in any committed relationships, maaybe once or twice but it always fall flat on the s.o wanting just be known as the "Rayman's Significant Other". They did ENDED UP confessing each other and doing their baby steps in relationship that felt...wrong but they try to ignore and while also healing themselves up with things they either struggled or with Casper's case - traumatized of which he learned to move over time, maybe never fully but no longer held back by it. I know this was VERY fucking long, I didn't even expected it to be THAT long, I'm sorry 😭

anyway, have some concept doodle of Casper's family, not really anything much. I just wanted to experimented

annnd Casper's doodle page cuz i love him dearly like my son...

[weirdmarioenemies]

Name: Walking Shell

Debut: Rayman 2: The Great Escape

Hello! This is not a pencil. I know it looks very much like one. Please try to keep pencil thoughts to yourself until the reception after the post, where we WILL be serving tiny hot dogs. If you didn't think this looked like a pencil before, I'm sorry that now you'll only be able to see a pencil. But this is a missile! Shell, like a bombshell! Get it? Yeah! Ok.

It is a very cute and lovable missile, too! This is what Mario does to us. It makes it normal for missiles and bombs and bullets to be cute. This missile even has a skull-style emblem of the Bad Guy on its back... but it has legs! It is Walking Shell, after all! And that's not even the best and most precious part...

It has a DOGHOUSE!!! What the heck! This missile is literally an animal. Someone makes little houses for these missiles to sleep in. I think they are beloved! Even if they are just sort of like guard dogs, being Enemies stationed at certain points, I love to see such in-universe appreciation for a dawdling deathtrap.

When a Walking Shell senses Rayman (I think it should have the ability to Smell), it becomes a Running Shell, and really books it with those funny little legs it has! And with every footstep a lovely tock-tock-tock sound. They're gonna getcha! Gonna getcha! Until they get tuckered out. They stop running and just stand there, bobbing up and down, like they're panting!

I'm sure you're familiar with the classic All Animals Are Dogs trope, where regardless of species, an animal in a piece of media acts like a dog instead of its actual species (unless it's a cat, I guess). And boy, does that get tiring. I love dogs! But they are the only animals that act like dogs, because they are the animals that are dogs!

Anyway, Walking Shell acts like a dog, but THIS is a missile with two legs and no other features whatsoever! It's such a novel thing to act like a dog! A real innovation in the Thing That Acts Like A Dog department! With its two legs and pointed front, I would think if anything it would act like a chicken, and "peck" the ground as an idle animation, or something. But don't worry, farmheads! Look!

After it gets tired, Rayman can mount the Walking Shell, and it will rear up and neigh like a horse! Real dogs do not become horses. Yes, I do know many animal facts, why do you ask? Walking Shell will then cheese it and run over any terrain at high speeds! Sadly, the goal of these sections is to guide it into a wall so that it will explode on impact and destroy the wall. And that's so sad!!!

Yeah, this is a missile, it's destined to explode, but they also made a point of portraying it as an animal, a creature, one that can even be befriended. It's almost like if the Yoshi Dismount Jump was necessary to end every level where Yoshi was found. I think Rayman should adopt a Walking Shell, and walk it on a leash, and literally just let it be a dog. But be careful it doesn't bump into anything too hard!

Welcome to TOY CORNER. Toys are an important part of Walking Shell's history! Rayman is, obviously, a nightmare to design toys of. You could have strings to represent his floaty hands and feet, but then he doesn't look like Rayman, he looks like Ol' Strings Fer Arms Raym'n, who is not real! So, they had to get creative. And it worked, I think! In toy form, Rayman is always accompanied by some kind of prop that his hands and feet can be directly attached to. It may limit play possibilities, but it's better than the alternative, which is nothing. I hope you are getting excited reading this tangent on a post about Rayman's funny steed...!

Here it is! Walking Shell McDonald's Toy, for you to enjoy! The legs are sort of sticking straight out, but it is still unmistakably our friend. The exhaust pipe can be turned to make it go forward and occasionally turn in circles!

Gee. What a great concept. They get to put Rayman's hands and feet somewhere secure, and we get to know there are Walking Shell toys out there! It would be great if they did this again.

Wow! They did this again! This time in plush form! Walking Shell is truly just a creature so nice you gotta make a toy of it twice. This plush fascinated me for a few reasons. First, it's from Rayman 3, and Walking Shell is only in the GBA version of that game, which is absolutely not the Main version, and yet it gets toy spotlight again (this is a good thing). Second, it is directly modeled after the McDonald's toy, with the legs in the exact same position. I am intrigued by this, like, translating a McDonald's toy into a more "real" toy, if that makes sense.

Would you let Walking Shell sniff your hand? Be careful!

A "little" bit regarding Phantom

Here's the analysis I've wanted to do (for a long time, actually) about everyone's favourite bastard opera bunny.

Minor spoiler for The Last Spark Hunter!

TLTR in meme form:

While my zero expectations to find the Phantom in this DLC were met (even if to be honest for more than a minute I tought Allegra's friend was going to be him, lol), I was hoping for another cameo. And Ubisoft delivered!

Sailing around the Ruins you can find this very creepy... giant plush half buried in the sand? Is that a reference to the real life Phantom puppet? Did Phantom's megalomaniac ass commission this? Creepy factor aside, I love that he looks like he's wearing eyeliner! Phantom wears makeup canon yesdonteventrytofightmeonthis!

Anyway, I'm not the only one that thinks Beep-0's comment is highly sus. Even in the tone he's using sounds like the devs behind are being so proud of their troll. Maybe I'm just overthinking as usual and that dialogue is just Beep-0's seething hatred towards Phantom, but... That, paired with everything else going on... it doesn't convince me.

Phantom does have his fair amount of reasons he could make a real return song and all, there are a lot people wanting him back (not only in the fandom) and he's also Soliani's favourite boss who, let's not forget, waited 20 years to make a boss like him. It would be a wasted opportunity to only use him once. Since Donkey Kong Adventure featured Rabbid Kong, who was one of the two main bosses that did not unmerge after defeat (the Bwah Trio didn't unmerge too, but they were mini bosses), it wouldn't be so odd to see Phantom having a DLC too (after all a lot of people thought he was going to be the final boss of Kingdom Battle after his feature trailer). Let's not forget this time he has a juicy chance for another diss track. To Rayman and his decennary absence in the videogame scene. Another thing: we still don't know anything about the third DLC villain. This may be a bit of a stretch, but hear me out. When the posters for the three DLCs were published, Ubisoft gave us very little info about The Last Spark Hunter, but we knew there was a new enemy. The only thing they told us about the third DLC is that Rayman will be in it. Now they gave us a teaser, info about the general setting, but still no villain. This makes me think that there will not be a new villain, but someone we already met.

I don't think the cameos, the updates to his shenanigans, the grammophone sitting right there in the third DLC poster and the last almost blatant bit of foreshadowing in the Melodic Gardens were put there for nothing. And be honest, at this point who wouldn't want to see Beep-0's reaction to Phantom after all the hate he has been expressing towards him? All of this make a lot of sense. Almost too much sense to not see him return. The funny thing is if he shows up wearing Cursa's broken mask (a fan theory, but far too appropriate to rule out) it means they have been foreshadowing his return since Sparks of Hope released.

Personally I'd be happy even if he had a very minor role, like an NPC with a quest. Or even a little cameo in person, just to see him in Sparks of Hope style since he seems like he's changed a bit since Kingdom Battle (canonically he can remove the grammophone from his belly and apparently he wears makeup). I hope they'll keep his fourth wall breaking abilities even if it's just for advertising the DLC or to justifiy his appearence, as we know he's well aware of the developers (and, as expected, he sounds like he has a bit of beef with them as one of his unusued lines says "I'll have the art director's head for this", lol).

The thing that worries (and at the same time excites) me the most is the dubbing work they'd have to do for him. Since now all Rabbids are fully voiced (and in a lot of languages too) and assuming an hypotethical song will not be dubbed (as I think they'd do), I'm very curious about how they would manage Phantom as he has a very characteristic tone and accent and everyone knows his voice as he wasn't dubbed at all in Kingdom Battle. I do think it would be epic if they managed to get an actual singer for every language, but... it would be a bit too much in terms of everything, at Ubisoft they are madmen, but not like that, lol.

In all this there's still that one unusued idea where the Phantom was going to change music genre as his battle progressed. Who knows maybe it will be the right time we hear the metal song Soliani has been threatening Kirkhope with all this time, lol.

The only reason I can think of that makes everything crumble, would be if Beep-0's lines about Phantom's cameo were a result of an oversight, like it seems to have happened with Allegra (her memory states that she can change the colour of her skin depending on the "mood" of the planet, but it's never shown in game nor in her backstory). Or, perish the thought, it's just a placeholder as to say: "if we can make him appear again, good that was foreshadowing, if we cannot, we told you" to save thier buttcheeks in case they'll not bring him back. Even if I highly doubt Ubisoft would do such a thing after making everyone suspect a foreshadow.

Foreshadowing or not: if he will not appear in something like a poster, a teaser or a full on trailer, this doesn't mean he will not be there. Remember they pulled this thing too in Kingdom Battle where the devs said he was purposefully left out of the poster with the bosses as they didn't want to spoil him (even if then they released a feature trailer for him, but... idk, marketing shenanigans I assume, lol).

As a conclusion, take all of this infodump as a theory, there's no real evidence to definitively assume Phantom will return any time soon. I don't want to influence people to think he'll come back and then have them disappointed because he didn't. This is just my thoughts on the topic. And don't think I'll be disappointed if Phantom doesn't show up because, while I am biased, I'm not only looking forward to that.

More like this: [Rayman Oneshots Masterpost]

After Rayman's emotional breakdown on live TV, Chief brings him a package the next day.

He lies on his bed, bags under his eyes when she dumps the box right on his midsection, eliciting a grunt.

"I got something for you, to cheer you up," she says.

The lesson, she agrees, had to be learned. But Rayman looks a mess. Makeup can cover his poor constitution but that won't help them if his voice keeps cracking and his acting fails him.

"What's that?" he asks as he sits up.

"Fanmail," Chief says, "Your unprofessional stunt yesterday was - for some reason - received well by the public."

Rayman starts sifting through the box. It's indeed letters. A lot of condolences for 'his' loss, partly to blame on how openly Chief had communicated his involvement with the shelter to the public.

He sifts through the box with shaking hands, card after card. There are long letters and rough drawings from children. 'Thank You's from facilities he's been supporting and photos of teams showing off what his donated money went into.

She watches his breath even out and his posture become a little less tense.

It's… a mystery to the manager how even when Rayman fucks up he winds up endearing to the crowd. He's established himself as the face of the people in what little time he's been here. Mistakes are 'charming' or 'make him human' despite him very clearly being anything BUT. Maybe some folks just consider him the same way they'd look upon a puppy and figure he's some sort of mascot. 

Whatever the case, he's weaseled himself into the hearts of Eden's citizens to a point that makes him a liability even more so than his ignorant volatility had made him before. 

He’s prolific in a way that would spark outcry if he were to disappear suddenly. Eden’s advantage has turned into a risk. 

She used to be the boss's assistant, now relegated to being this creature's personal babysitter.

But that's fair, she supposes. His impact on Eden’s image has been massive. Playing the job of his supervisor might as well be the most important task in this company right now. 

The faintest of smiles has returned on Rayman's face and he wipes his eyes with the heel of his hands before - completely unbidden - he moves in to hug the Chief.

It startles her.

She’s not getting paid enough to put up with all of his crap, but - she supposes - at least when it comes to the Limbless himself, it’s not as thankless a task as it could be. 

---

Rayman agrees to doing the second show, and while he's reluctant to talk to him again, Chief says the boss is gracious enough to grant him that second chance.

It's… easier he thinks. The format is supposed to be more lighthearted than the news, and Rayman figures that might make it just what he needs.

So he's hopeful.

Until the night of the premier. That has him nervous. And scared. And frantic. And everything in between. Why did he agree to this?

There’s a live audience waiting outside, which is so strikingly different from just reporting the news. His heart flutters from stage fright. 

Chief stands next to him with her arms crossed. Her stoic presence is a crutch. 

“You look nervous,” she observes.

“That’s because I am,” Rayman replies and chuckles in a way that almost sounds like a sob. 

"You'll do great," Chief comments like it doesn't matter, "Those people out there, they're here for you."

Rayman takes another glimpse from behind the curtain.

"Isn't that the part where you tell me to act natural?"

"You?! Hell no!"

Rayman makes a sound of acknowledgment somewhere between amusement and disappointment.

"That's the part where I tell you to put on a smile. Unless you insist on sabotaging yourself, you couldn't possibly mess this up."

She hunkers down to adjust his bowtie.

"Now get out there, and make me proud."

---

"See?" the manager says. Rayman thinks it's the first time he sees her smile, "I knew you could do it."

"Thanks, Ly."

"Who?" she asks and Rayman stiffens, suddenly realizing what he'd said.

"Oh, I…" he fumbles and backs off. He looks flustered. And a little bit sad. "Sorry. Just… you… sounded like an old friend, for a second there."

Shit. This is embarrassing. Rayman buries his face in his hands, but luckily Chief doesn't seem to mind.

"Were they a good friend?"

He collects himself. Sighs.

"Very," he replies, his entire posture sagging, "She was my mentor."

"I see," his manager replies with a sense of amusement and Rayman is so relieved she's not holding it against him.

“I guess what I meant to say is… Thank you for having my back." he tries again.

"Come on," she says and easily ruffles his hair just standing next to him. She can't stand it when he's moping and he sounds like he needs some cheery thoughts.

"I think we should celebrate this premiere with a drink."

"Yeah," Rayman agrees, "That sounds like an excellent idea. What would I ever do without your guidance?"

---

Chief has a gun to her head.

"We can talk about this," Rayman pleads with their assailant, "Let's be reasonable."

The guy had just come out of nowhere. Hijacked the car of their driver and kidnapped them into an abandoned parking facility. 

He’s rough and violent. Through it all, his manager is trying really hard to remain calm, but Rayman has seen calm on her. And anger. And right now he knows she's very much scared.

Rayman isn’t sure what’s up with the guy. Whether he’s a small fish with a small mind or if he has ulterior motives. Then he catches a glimpse of a tattoo he recognizes from the news on the dude’s neck. 

“What do you want?” 

Rayman tries to offer, his hands held up placatingly. 

Wasn’t the attack on the homeless shelter enough already?! 

“I could ask you the same thing!” the guy spits as he jostles the manager.

“Since your mug is on TV suddenly the Eden assholes look like the good guys, while poor people still starve!” 

“Is this about money again?” Rayman asks, confused, panicked. “You can have it, okay? Just let her go first.” 

“Money won't save you!” the guy yells and presses the gun against the manager’s temple. She flinches back with grit teeth. It makes her look so unusually small. 

Rayman’s hands go limp. 

“I’m here for you little Eden shits!" the man snarls.

"Did this bitch tell you the shelter raid was an inside job?"

“That’s not-”

“SHUT UP!” 

He angrily flails his gun at her. Rayman is slowly lowering his stance. He’s barely listening, too busy by now keeping his eyes on that twitching trigger finger. 

“You don’t ever wonder why there are people in need of your donations to begin with?! Have they brainwashed you this badly? I’ll tell you why! It’s because this entire system is broken!” 

He spits. Rayman has barely time to take a breath before the gun goes off. 

As Chief clatters to the ground Rayman’s world stands still. There’s evidently no helping her, she’s just… dead. Immediately. 

His posture goes lax as his breath leaves him.

“This mess can only be fixed from the ground up,” the voice echoes in the parking lot, but Rayman’s ears are still ringing from the gunshot. 

“You’re next.” 

When his weapon moves to take aim at Rayman his instincts kick in. The Limbless throws his fist at the firearm and breaks the attacker's hand. The gun clatters to the ground but the sound is drowned by a blood-curdling scream. 

Humans are just so incredibly fragile when Rayman's hands are used to breaking apart metal. For just having taken someone else's life with that silly weapon of his the dirty crook is nothing without it.

As the criminal clutches his wrist, screaming and crying - look at him, all tears and snot - Rayman approaches him.

His left hand is still squeezing down on the mess of bones, keeping the man pinned to the ground.

Rayman is small, likely a third of this guy’s statures, but he towers above the asshole by the time he's eye to eye with him. And the look on his face spells bloody murder.

A younger version of him would have stopped there. The threat was disarmed, had learned its lesson, could grow from that.

But that version is gone. He left it in the Glade. And without Chief, there's no one to hold him back.

A well-aimed punch makes sure that the bastard stays down. Rayman is upon him before he can get back on his feet.

Blood sprays and teeth go flying as Rayman beats the monster's face to a pulp.

The screaming stops, but his punches don't, even when splintered bones become crumbs of asphalt and his own knuckles break open.

When he does stop eventually, with a breathless sob and a wail, he glances down on a mess of flesh - a human body that no longer has a face to speak of.

And he feels nothing.

His thoughts are with Chief, who lies behind him, her scattered brains exposed on the asphalt. It's an image in his mind he can't bear.

But the bastard beneath him?

Rayman gets up and nudges the body with his foot. 

Didn't even put up a fight.

Rayman spits the taste of blood from his mouth. Fuck.

"Guess no one ever taught you, you need to be careful of who you choose to make an enemy of here."

---

HQ is spinning out of control when the manager's call arrives but it's Rayman speaking on the other end asking to be picked up.

Even so, his driver isn't prepared for what awaits him at the parking facility.

Rayman himself hunkers on the hood of their car, just drenched in blood, with two bodies lining the asphalt behind him.

"Finally," he says. His voice is alarmingly calm and timid. Something about it doesn't sit right with the cabby; it doesn’t fit with the rest of the picture. 

"Please, can we go home?"

"Yeah. Sure," the escort says as he unlocks the car. Rayman drudges past him. The wet squelching of his shoes haunts every step as he slinks into the car to ruin the interior with the stain of blood and stench of iron.

Slowly the driver makes out the details of the crime scene. The puddle of blood, the giant hole in the manager's skull… the… no-longer-a-skull of the other body. 

He stumbles to a nearby beam and starts throwing up.

---

"Shit. You did this?"

The boss is examining one of the victim's photos from the crime scene.

"Guess Razorbeard wasn't kidding when he said you had violent tendencies. Well, now…"

he folds the evidence into a neat stack before igniting a lighter and setting the polaroids ablaze.

"The public can't know about this," the boss orders as he gets up from his seat to bear down on Rayman. 

The Limbless is fresh out of the shower, his hair still dripping wet, but his nose is still clogged with the smell of iron. He hunches on his chair, fists tightly interlocked as he presses his forehead against them like it could make the memory vanish.

"I dispatched a team to remove the bodies and clean the site. I don't want you to mention this to anyone. Surely I don’t have to remind you what that would do to your image."

They seem oddly prepared, Rayman can’t help but think in the light of what the perpetrator had been spitting. Maybe the Limbless would have been more inclined to listen if the asshole hadn’t decided to choose murder first. 

"Did he spill anything about his motive before you broke his jaw?"

The mere memory of the boss flying off the handle at Rayman suggesting he'd bring to light just one of his dirty secrets makes the Limbless shake his head no.

He doesn't want to find out what the consequences would be if Boss were to learn of him knowing yet another of his misdeeds.

What would he target next? The food-bank? The hospital? Perish the thought he'd go for the childcare.

Rayman's foot is tapping relentlessly before his posture straightens and he dares to look the boss in the eyes. Here they are face to face finally - Rayman wishes the circumstances could have been different.  

Once upon a time, he’d toyed with the idea of giving the boss a good wallop in the face if they ever were to meet.

Right now, that very thought leaves a sour taste in his mouth. 

"What about Chief?" he asks.

"Of course, you'll be appointed a new assistant."

"Sir," Rayman tries to find his voice, "That's not-"

But Boss flicks his wrist to silence him, and Rayman goes quiet.

"You can make your own decisions for one day and NOT cause a mess, can't you?" 

Rayman's alert posture wilts until he hunkers. He’s not sure if what he’s feeling is regret. 

It's only for Chief that he feels bad.

Not for the bastard that killed her, he doesn’t. 

That one got what he deserved. 

…But it still doesn't bring back his friend.

If anything, Rayman thinks it's a shame that by hiding the evidence under a rug, the rest of the clan will just proceed as usual. They need to be sent a message. 

Damn, he just wants to be left alone. But he's very high profile. Boss has his name plastered all over town.

He knows today won't have been his last brush with extremists.

---

Rayman's perceived calm lasts up until he's led back to his room, when he's supposed to sleep and the hectic world around him slows down.

It's like all of the memories culminate and flood him like a torrent that threatens to take him under.

He lies in bed curled up and bawling, as the pain in his knuckles reaches a new boiling point.

---

Of course, it's on the news.

No one comes to pick him up the following day (obviously he can't expect Chief to suddenly show up at his door), so Rayman has no choice but to watch the news from his dorm. He's seen the guy standing in for him on set before.

They call it an 'attempt on his life' and say that the 'culprit has been apprehended' (that's cute) and that 'he'll be back as soon as possible'.

Not a single word about Chief.

It's funny - he thinks now - how he's never bothered to fact-check his own reports. It's all on the teleprompter. The only thing they need him to do is read.

But he doesn't want to acknowledge that the guy he killed might have been right.

Not when his solution to the problem was pointing a gun at Rayman when he'd already been trying so hard to offer help wherever he could. 

---

"Another job?" Rayman asks. He's so tired already. It's been nearly a month since the incident and Rayman is still trying to find his footing back with his old schedule. But here he's been pulled from prepping tonight's moderation to meet with the boss.

Truth be told though, he appreciates anything that keeps his mind from wandering. But this might be a bit excessive.

"One of our Nightclubs reports unruly customers. We thought maybe you'd be interested in a leading position?"

His face draws into a frown.

"Unruly customers, huh?"

"Violent Costumers. Drunkards who don't pay their tab. Brutes looking for a fight. Perverts who harass the female staff," The boss points at him with a dry laugh when he sees the angry frown increase steadily on Rayman's face.

"I thought that'd be up your alley!"

"Don't you have bouncers for that?" Rayman deadpans.

"That's not the point," the boss says and leans back in his seat.

"Your patronage would repel those folk, you know, make people feel safe. And possibly draw an all-new crowd."

Rayman hums to himself. How bold does he dare to be today?

"And you're offering - let me guess - more money."

The boss sighs to himself.

"I expected as much," he drawls. Rayman takes curious note of his calm demeanor. He's not disappointed. Or angry.

"No," the boss says, and Rayman raises an inquiring eyebrow, leans in a little so he can hear what the boss is going to say next.

"If you could pick any citizen from your home…" he says, and Rayman's heart begins to race.

"Just one!" the boss points out with a warning finger-

Rayman wants to fly from his seat and get up to that desk. 'Just one' means 'one for now'. If Rayman puts in even more work after-

"Yes!" he blurts before he can second-guess himself or the boss changes his mind.

"Very good."

A satisfied grin grows on the man's face as he reaches his hand out over the desk for a shake. The limbless fool doesn't even realize he's picking his own leverage.

"I'm expecting a choice by tomorrow."

[galactiquest]

hi jason!! it's lex again, hopping on board for this week's f/o friday... hope that's okay hah. I just love getting to gush about my beloved!!!

I'm honestly not even sure what it is that makes rayman so wonderful to me, but he just. IS. to a lot of people, he seems like he just takes on a generic heroic protagonist role, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of what he's like! he's easygoing, he's fun-loving, goofy, loves to make people laugh and pull jokes... he's a very go-with-the-flow kind of guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. and I think part of why that stands out to me so much is that I wish I could be like that, myself! I admire him for it 🥺

I think that kinda ties in to why I fell so hard for him, too. he's taught me how to take things a little more easily and not get too worked up with all of my anxiety. I knew as soon as I started playing his games that there was something special about him, as cheesy as that sounds. 😆 he's just... such a ray of sunshine (ba dum tst) and his positivity is contagious. it grounds me when I'm feeling down! :')

(@raylex)

Lex of COURSE you can come into my inbox multiple times!!! That's what F/O Friday is for!!! And who doesn't love to hear about Rayman again? (I know I do.)

I mean, I would be the LAST person to judge in terms of anyone falling for a lovable protagonist. Doesn't the spiky, blond hair and overall heroic feeling remind you of someone? Hint hint, he's in my icon--trust me I get it.

Also, all your art with him is super adorable--you really capture his essence well, especially when you draw the two of you together! I hope there's lots more Rayman asks in my inbox!

[loveydoveylex]

reeses puffs with rayman?

👋👋👋 hiii baz!! thank you for the ask, hope you're having a nice day! :)

Reeses Puffs: How do you prefer to spend down time? Any activities in particular you two enjoy?

like I mentioned in a previous ask, ray is a hedonist at heart, and this also manifests itself in him just loving to sleep and nap throughout the day. and what's better than napping alone? napping with someone you love!!!

as 'boring' as it may sound, we both love getting to rest together. it's such a nice little thing where you're technically in a vulnerable state but you know that just being in the other person's presence is enough to keep you feeling safe and sound.

it also opens up the opportunity for SO. MANY. CUDDLES. and cuddles are the foundation of our relationship. why yes, we WILL get tangled up so bad with eachother that we need someone to physically come pull us apart, thank you.

other than that? going for walks and appreciating nature! he's helped me alot with learning to see the beauty in smaller things in life. and it's so nice to just walk around aimlessly with no particular goal in mind, in magical and enchanted forests, holding hands with your partner as you just chat the day away with eachother ❤ especially so as I headcanon rayman as being someone who doesn't speak alot, so getting to see him as talkative as I imagine he could be with me - it's a delight!!! 🥺

[spoocys-glade-of-dreams]

The limbless couple met with Rayman on the journey to where the rift activity was detected. Raymona smiles to Ramon and pulls him in for a hug.

"I'm both nervous and excited! Just remember, he doesn't know that he's going to be your son. That happens later."

The limbless family arrive just in time to see the portal rift open. The trio approach and they see a tall, masked figure in robes step out. The Hunter. The figure loomed over the limblesses, their eyeless mask staring at them. They let a small hiss escape their throat. hiding behind The Hunter was a small hybrid child. A little boy who seems confused about everything. Looking at the three limblesses, he squints a little at Ramon as if studying him. The child let out a soft gasp, his eyes lighting up in excitement. He steps out from behind The Hunter and takes Ramon by the hands.

"You're Rayman! The Rayman! I thought you left forever! Eden hasn't been the same for me since you left! I...I missed you. Watching your shows."

The Hunter lets out another small hiss, one that sounded like they were more annoyed than anything.

"Come, boy. Leave the rabble alone. We have work to do and we need to locate our outpost."

"But-"

"No buts. You know better than to talk back like that. Now, come along."

The Hunter began to walk away. They really didn't seem to care that Ramon had fled to this world. It wasn't like The Hunter to not try to insult him at the first chance he got. The hybrid child looks to The Hunter, then back to Ramon. He seemed really hesitant to leave, and the limbless could feel the boy's grip on his hands become tighter.

The blonde noods his head at his friend,perhaps after all of this is over, the Glade will have another resident... another protector, but the friend... who might be the friend ﹖ One of the ghosts ﹖Probably!! after all, even tho he knows him, he doesn't know all the aspects of his life.

Days pass and he got the call from Mona, another rift, and now that it wasn't Bullfrog it has to be Theo and The Hunter. So he got ready to find his brother and finally meet with his future son...

“ 𝙷𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚗𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎... 𝙼𝚢 𝚜𝚘𝚗... 𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚠. 𝙸𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚕 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚘𝚞𝚜 ﹖𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔 𝚝𝚘 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚖 ”

Top 5 Game Series That Need The N.Sane Treatment

Crash Bandicoot was a series that hadn't been seen for years until the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy was revealed to the world. Thanks to this trilogy, not only was the franchise revitalized but we also got a sequel for Crash Warped in the form of Crash 4: It's About Time.

This is a recipe that could potentially bring games lost in obscurity back into the limelight but even a chance for new games to come. Here are some of my picks!

1. Jak and Daxter

One of the games that seriously needs the N.Sane Trilogy treatment. Jak and Daxter was a game series made by Naughty Dog that would inspire many platforms after. It stars the Demolition Duo, Jak and his partner ottsel, Daxter, on incredible adventures that change in tone over each game. You begin with a goofy island adventure to a dark futuristic playground as new mechanics get introduced.

Out of the main trio which consists of Jak, Sly, and Ratchet, Jak was actually the first game I played amongst them. A series that needs a comeback especially with the Easter Eggs often seen in Ratchet and Clank games throughout the years.

Touch up the graphics into a different style depending on the game, the Precursor Legacy be a bit more cartoony in appearance like Crash 4, and then switch to a style similar to the N.Sane Trilogy for the darker games like Jak 2 and 3.

Adjust the controls to run smoother, change difficulty of certain games like lower the difficulty of Jak 2 a smidge and place an optional mode to play with the original difficulty.

This would lay down the groundwork for an actual proper sequel, Jak X feels more like a side game while Lost Frontier is a snore fest.

If Naughty Dog doesn't take this route and continues pushing out flavorless games, I suggest any decent company that can do should buy the rights to Jak and Daxter. This is a gold mine covered in dust that needs to come back!

2. Sly Cooper

Yep! We're going to the other member of this once legendary trio, Sly Cooper. Sly Cooper was the second game series from Sucker Punch that I played, the first being Infamous series.

This game revolves around a group of thieves who steal from criminals and tend to get wrapped up in saving the world a few times or battling enemies out to end the bloodline of the main character, Sly Cooper, who comes from a legendary family of thieves.

Before the series disappeared into discontinuity, we had a total of 3 main games alongside one made by Sanzaru. Sanzaru's Thieves of Time was decent but midway World 3, the quality seriously declined and left fans with a very unsatisfied ending. Perfect for crossovers but terrible for the franchise.

Giving this game the N.Sane Trilogy treatment would not only give a more successful chance than attempts to make a movie, but it could to more proper sequel than Sanzaru's version. Use a design similar to Sanzaru's or go for a more rounded one like N.Sane Trilogy.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart even had an Easter Egg with Sly in it too! Insomniac acknowledges that these game series still exist by dropping these little nuggets of nostalgia, take the hint and bring back the Legendary Playstation Trio!

3. Spectrobes

Nintendo's alternate version of Pokemon. Spectrobes is a trilogy game series that debuted on the DS and last game was made for the Wii.

This series revolves around Rallen and Jeena, two members of the Nanairo Patrol, as they search for the fossils of creatures of light known as Spectrobes to find the planet devouring darkness known as Krawl.

You travel through various planets to uncover different kinds of fossils and some very interesting or whacky but loveable characters. It has elements similar to Fossil Fighters where you have to dig up fossils before awakening them. Care for your Spectrobes to battle the Krawl.

The evolving battle system, new mechanics, various locales and the unique design of each Spectrobe were something I loved but pretty sure many would like too. It even had a book and a mini series on YouTube! The game's graphics could take a route similar to Rayman Legends or Dragonball FighterZ.

Don't go for Jump Force please. We need actual expression than stiff faces and aggravating screams.

This is game series worth bringing back even if it just gets a remake.

4. Golden Sun

Another Nintendo franchise that needs return from obscurity. Golden Sun was a JRPG that came along systems like the Gameboy Advance during a severe lack of games for it. It revolves around different groups of people who use Psynergy, their version of alchemy, to battle evil as they travel the realm of Weyward.

A great game series enriched by its many characters, lore, growing battle system such as Djnn and Summons to turn the tide in battles, unique story and all sorts of areas to explore.

The biggest dent to the franchise was Dark Dawn because of its questionable ending that left many players confused or dissatisfied despite the incredible graphics, plot and character interactions. After that no one has heard a single word about any sequel.

The N.Sane Treatment would not only bring the franchise back for fans both new and old but can actually fix the questionable ending for Dark Dawn. Graphic style, um, I guess something similar to Dragon Quest or maybe Persona. Persona would be the better option considering how you choose how the main character responds to certain situations.

This series has been done dirty and deserves a second chance like this.

5. Kid Icarus

A Nintendo franchise that shows bringing back old games can revitalize a lost series.

This game series is at the bottom for a decent reason actually. Masahiro Sakurai has been hearing requests about porting one of the games, Uprising, to the Switch. Something that he sounds like he wants to do but there is a problem as he admits it would be difficult.

How Uprising is made for the 3DS such as the dual screens, and specific use of the touch screen for combat. Something that can't easily be translated to something like the Switch without decent changes.

The game revolves around the angel Pit, who fights the evil forces of the Underworld with assistance from his Goddess Palutena. Each game changes the rules of battle with the greatest being Uprising as you combat various creatures and even bosses revolve mostly around Greek mythology.

I think the N. Sane Trilogy can work with this. The first Kid Icarus and the second Of Myth and Monsters might be what could provide the missing pieces for the Uprising Switch Port Situation.

Both games could be completely restyled in a format that could be similar to Zelda since in these games, your options of weapons are limited and you have to think smart for particular puzzles.

They can be used to lay down a format that can built on for an Uprising Remake since Land Battles are one half of the essential gameplay. The graphics can be Uprising since it's already a perfect that just needs to be brushed up a bit.

When it comes to Super Smash Brothers, Sakurai worked hard to make characters like Minecraft Steve or Fighting Game fighters such as Ryu and Kazuya fit into the gameplay even if it meant changing about every hitbox and aspect of the stages. A little help can go a long way.

That's what I've got for now. If I find anymore games that need the N. Sane Trilogy then I'll put em in a new list. Until next time folks!

[spoocys-glade-of-dreams]

"Then I'm certainly being treated much differently than he is and I am fully aware most of the council does not like me. I get vacation time when I really needed it. My hours are much better. I get a chance to actually eat, sleep, and breathe.

When I was created, I was told from the start that my presence was only temporary. I've been content with the fact that my position as the voice was never going to be permanent. Frankly, I have more to gain if Rayman doesn't return. What can I say? I enjoy the job. Riches, and Respect... at least from the majority of the community within Eden.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why you two stay together when he's going to be responsible for putting you in so much danger. You are literally a walking target the longer you stay with him. I can give you everything you could ever need. I can give you protection. No one would dare harm you ever again. Yet you choose to side with a... a ter-"

"A terrorist."

*Rayman gave a soft chuckle. He let a sigh escape through his nose before he stared straight into the imposter's eyes.*

"There's one thing you have right. You do sound like a darker version of myself. You say the things I would never dare let escape through my lips. You speak your mind quite literally, don't you?

Now I'm curious about this true form of yours. What? Are you some dark clone of mine or something?"

*The form on the imposter would start to glitch once more. Even his bound hands began to glitch out. The true form was now on full display. He really was a dark clone. He would stand tall and proud as he glares at Rayman.*

"There. Now are you satisfied?"

"I haven't been satisfied with a single god damn thing the board of directors or the high council's done in this city and now I'm even more pissed off at the fact you exist."

@spoocys-glade-of-dreams

Ellie rolled her eyes when the other complimented her. Does he really think that flattery will get him anywhere? More importantly, he mentioned something about having a second form. What could that second form possibly be? Could he perhaps transform into it now in order to escape his current situation?

Those thoughts would be put on pause as the copy had also mentioned being favored by The Emperor. Now that was a big lie if she didn't hear it. On top of that, if her boyfriend would return to being The Voice, he would be treated better than when he worked under The Board of Directors. Another lie.

"I've always believed Ramon was destined for greatness, just not as The Voice. I've heard the horror stories and saw the shape he was in while he worked as The Voice. Hes so much better than that status he had, but there was nothing I could do for him but to be by his side and support him. Waiting when the time was right until he got the wake up call that he needed and leave."

"If he goes back to the way things were, then all that effort and improvement in himself would have been for nothing. I think these promises of better working conditions are nothing more than a trap for him to be manipulated again. And what about your fate hm? Aren't you afraid of being tossed aside and having your program erased?"

"You go on and on about how amazing it is to work for them. Why not keep that cozy position to yourself."

[spoocys-glade-of-dreams]

"The Emperor doesn't care about anyone who shouldn't belong in his perfect empire. That's what this city is to him. An empire. A kingdom. His little fantasy land. If you don't fit in, then you don't belong. The hybrids? They shouldn't belong here, yet he keeps them here because they serve a purpose to the city and it's people.

So many Hybrids are put into jobs that The Emperor thinks benefits them the most, simply because of what animal they are. Snakes and lizards are milked for medicine and food consumption, Beavers only work construction, Cows are placed in food production.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it Rayman?"

*The twin Rayman's expression went wide, he seemed shattered at the thought.*

"The song I would perform for the Eden kids. The one that taught the children to respect the hybrids for the work they do..."

"It's considered offensive to many hybrids. If I may use Floyd as an example for a moment. He's a lion. If The Emperor had his way, he would be enlisted in guard positions, or even the warrior's wrestling programs.

I found him first. He had a gift for the stage. Just like both you Raymans did. He didn't want to remain a singer and wanted a chance to get an education and become a doctor. I had to pull a lot of strings behind the scenes to allow him to get his dream career. Under normal circumstances, Floyd would have never worked in Eden as a doctor."

*Floyd crossed his arms and just stared down at the floor with a hurt expression. Murfy gets up and flies over to him and pulls his head in for a hug. The lion would gently grab Murfy and began to nuzzle his boyfriend.*

"May I circle back on something previously discussed? The current voice you have appointed. Who is he, exactly?"

"Have you ever heard of something called data scraping? Where data is scraped from places and stored away into a database where it would collect to make things? Art, text, audio... well we managed to combine all of that and more with a little assistance. I say we, but it was really The Emperor and those that agreed with this plan. I was one of the two that disagreed with this.

We took all the data we had on Rayman and created an artificial one. Think of him as a sentient computer program with the ability to change his form into anyone he has information on. The most information he has is on Rayman. The process is not always fullproof and no matter how many times we tried to generate a new Rayman, it was never perfect. This was the one we settled on before we finally gave up and tried a different method."

"Like tapping into an alternate dimension and pulling out a new, flesh and blood Rayman."

"The Emperor had interest in that Rayman because he didn't have that circle. He thought he could easily manipulate him just like he did with the original. Rayman, darling, I think you did the right thing. Both of you. I don't blame any of you for the work you do now. I wish I could prove my good intentions to you, but if it comes down to it, I won't be afraid to die if it means the people within this city get saved."

The Blonde just allowed her girlfriend to put her chin on his head as he relaxed his body more, using his hand to guide her close to him so he can hug her much better, 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐲.

❝ He didn't have a chance to begin with, I was just playing with him. And i don't regret it ❞

Confesses the injured blonde as he continues to hug his girlfriend close to him as he listens more to the Concubine, they will meet the Hunter again... She was sure of it... and for some reason he was sure too, 𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆, 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎, 𝒕𝒉𝒆���� 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕...

❝ I they do... we know now what to do to stop them, break the mask... It should be easy enough between a lot of people... ❞

But it wasn't easy before, not for him at least. no. He will need all the help he needs to finally do it, to finally winthe Hunter.

But the other trouble was Fakeman, and he knows by how Mona hold him is her trouble too... the blonde her his girlfriend close to him, as he tried to sooth her, kissing her chin sightly, his eyes narrowed at the tought of that fake creature approaching to her, like she was a property, only because he was jealous of him... Was he made after him or after a spoiled brat? Last time he remembered, he wasn't a spoiled brat...

❝ I don't want to do anything with Eden, not even any single thing with them, they have done a lot of things for me to give them my trust, in my world maybe is not cmpletly the same but it is certansly something... like this... I am sorry Ma'am But Eden s dead for me... Your voices are unheard. Like the Eden's civilians.... then he doesn't care for you at all you are just objects for him... like Everyone in Fucking Eden! ❞

He was speaking the trut, just toys, just little fun games for his entertainment, that waht it looked the Emperor was doing with Eden for Rayman... PLAY.
