punch out hc dump because AGGHHHHGGGHHHGGHHBNBGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

sorry for falling off of the face of the earth. it will happen again. very often actually. yeah

Glass Joe has caffeine dependency,let this man go 1 hour without a hot fresh espresso (1 hour and 30 minutes if its a good day) and he will absolutely start TWEAKING. His doctors hate him for it.

Bald Bull actually got into boxing because of a comment his mom made on his anger issues.

Piston Hondo used to write fanfics when he was little,since then he has orphaned his works but they’re still out there,has told no one and will probably take it to the grave.

Disco Kid cannot do anything without background noise, anytime he loses his headphones his fight or flight mode activates.

Aran Ryan ate a lot of ants as a kid,knows the specific smell of ants and it haunts his nostrils once a year or so.

Mr Sandman actually knows a bit of spanish,he started learning it on a whim when he was bored but actually can speak it decently now,sometimes chats with Don Flamenco.

King Hippo gets reminded of his shitty blender business every once in awhile by Aran and HATES it, it once got to a point where saying the word “Blender” would have him fuming.

Bear Hugger sometimes gets a little too involved in other boxer’s gossip and ends up having beef with people he doesn’t even know.

Great Tiger gets bombarbed by hounds of paparazzi’s anytime he goes back to India ro visit family, he can luckily teleport away or send a clone to distract them.

Don Flamenco has multiple backup toupees just in case someone (coughcougharancoughcoughwheeze) tries to snatch it up and run away with it.

So apparently I've accidentally given Sanji a feeding kink in the current fic I'm writing without realizing? Huh...

[mxboxlocks]

Just wanted to drop an ask to see if you are willing to drop Wilson au lore 👁️ or the higgsbury siblings aus? it's chill if not I was just very interested in the recent art post you made,,,,

ohohohoho my dear anon i am always willing to drop lore

i'll do a higgsbury sibs loredump first, because i'd need a specific au to blabber about, lest the post be eight miles do-you-like-the-color-of-the-sky lookin ahh long.

i'll be using a bit of older art for this because i havent drawn them in a LONG time. (specifically Riley and Amelia's designs are outdated) but i'll be talking about the whole higgsbury family! how fun!

it all starts with a decently well-renowned german scientist and professor, and a big band singer from cali.

meet Arthur Lewis Higgsbury. a rough, calculated man with a thick german accent, and an impressive travel record. Arthur is an engineer, he worked tirelessly for around 10 years to bring about a draft of the computer. none of them worked, of course. that wouldn't happen until 1940 in japan, but i'm getting off track. he was often invited to speak at colleges because of his work. in one such instance, he stayed in San Francisco and just so decided he'd attend a show held by one Loraine "Lady Bird" Torres.

Loraine Torres, soon to become Loraine Higgsbury, was a big band singer and pretty damn good vocalist. she loved everything musical, jazz, art, and typically not-very-scientific-things. Arthur didn't mind all that, though, he was completely smitten.

long story short, Loraine convinced Arthur to move to america, where he lived with her in a pretty lavish lifestyle due to both of their incomes (they even have a nanny!). they had three children together; Riley, who was not planned for, Wilson, who was, and Amelia, who also was.

Very shortly after Amelia's birth, and Loraine's recovery from such, she wanted to get back into the singing business, and Arthur was fully supportive. in April of 1906, she's supposed to provide music for the intermissions between some guy named The Amazing Maxwell's act.

The San Francisco earthquake ensures she never makes it back home.

Arthur, completely devastated by this, nearly completely shuts himself off from his children. this of course affects them all in different ways.

starting with Riley, the oldest.

Riley! he's the nervous one.

Riley grows up to be a neurotic golden-child oldest sibling type of person. He has a love for reptiles and anything cold-blooded, and uses this love (and Arthur's harsh insistence) to fuel his ambition to be a reptilian biologist. he's often put in charge of keeping the family in line, however, his rampant anxiety gets in the way of being able to do a good job at it.

he owns several species of snake, a few spiders, an army of geckos, and an axolotl named Bessie.

as of the time of Wilson's disappearance, he's 38 years old.

next, is the boy you all know and love!

Wilson Percival Higgsbury! magnificent beard-grower, man of curiosity, and family disappointment.

out of all his children, Arthur was the hardest on Wilson. he would say he was squandering his gifts, his intelligence. at some point in his youth, Wilson tried to join a theater program. Arthur was not pleased by this.

of course, Wilson always had a fascination with all things science. chemistry, namely, but astronomy, botany to a mild extent, biology, he never could just pick one. so this caused Wilson to be sort of idle in his exploration of his passion, at least in his father's eyes.

after the whole college chemistry lab incident, as said in the last post, Wilson moved away practically overnight. Riley tried to get him to stay because "we need to take care of father", but just didn't quite understand why he was so upset. Amelia bid him a friendly "good riddance, traitor" and never spoke to him again.

at the time of his disappearance, Wilson was 31 years old. presently, he's somewhere between 31 and 34, due to the Constant's time fuckery. he settles on 32.

next, the firey hot-headed youngest sister,

Amelia. she's as friendly as she looks!

Amelia is quite the daddy's girl. she's constantly narcing on her brothers, keeping them in line, and seeking Arthur's approval. to which she recieves very little.

Amelia goes on to be an english major, which she... fucking hates. her true passion is forensics, true crime as it would be called today, that sort of thing. she's fascinated by death. which makes Wilson's disappearance all the more hard on her.

she truly loves her brothers, and Wilson, despite her general brattiness, had been there for her when no one else was. the two were close despite their bickering and fighting. she desperately tries to search for him for years, but to no avail.

at the time of Wilson's disappearance, she is 26 years old.

little bits of trivia time!!!

Riley and Amelia both have natrually oddly-shaped hair. Wilson's hair naturally looks more like his father's, but he's been styling it so long that it's stuck the way that it is.

the family's nanny did Wilson's hair. she also taught him a little bit of German.

Riley considers Wilson to be his more confident other-half.

Amelia is intentionally designed to bear a resemblance to Willow.

Despite Wilson's harsh exodus from the family, he's not the odd one out, just the most extreme one. Riley occasionally eats crickets - as an adult - to feel closer to his lizards. Amelia once camped outside her professor's house for three days begging for her grade to be changed, and she eventually got arrested for it. none of them are normal.

Riley's favorite food is Macaroni Casserole "the way Mom used to make it", and Amelia's is french onion soup, specifically because she thinks that because it has french in the name, that makes her fancy.

Arthur doesn't hate his children, but they do remind him deeply of his late wife, and often can't stand to make eye contact with them.

Wilson strictly calls Arthur "father", where as the other siblings call him some variation of "dad". Riley only calls Arthur "father" when he's speaking about him as an authority.

None of the siblings are allowed to speak about Loraine while they're "living under [Arthur's] roof". Amelia has a secret photograph she stole off the wall of her mother.

Wilson, due to trauma, hardly remembers any of his school years, his mother's face, or his nanny's voice. the last one he curses himself for a lot. he also doesn't know that Loraine was a singer.

Loraine was a big fan of Wigfrid's shows. she owned a replica of her helmet.

Put some quick colors on this sketch of Willow I had lying around for warmup!

[victornotsane]

wes don’t starve!! .

.

.

I love when people HC the survivors to be from different time periods, personally I like to think that Wes is from the early 1970s in France, of which the punk movement started ^_^ so I drew a lil punk Wes for funsies

[the-witch-of-woods-beyond]

actually kills me every time i start losing my mind over a ship only to find out they have no fans and i can’t binge read incredible fan fictions or metas on them for days on end.

HEADCANNON: whenever Warly is extremely stressed he impulsively begins cooking

…Even if it’s like 4:30 in the morning

[awesomesaurous]

Do you have any headcanon ages for Maxwell and Charlie?? And some of the other’s if you have them lolz :•)

Ok, if I must. Well my gut settled on like...27, 28 for Charlie, and I feel like Maxwell is at least 40. It would be funny if they were both the same age, and Charlie is baby-faced while Maxwell has aged really poorly, exacerbated by the stress and smoking. Got some city miles on him. Highly doubt it though, I think Maxwell is coded as older, though not as old as Wickerbottom. I don't know how aging works in the Constant? Queen!Charlie seems older than normal Charlie, but maybe that's just the makeup.

As it happens, I did this age progression a while ago, just to experiment with this:

His twin brother Jack is old enough to have what I assume are 10-12 year-old daughters, so I can't make Maxwell too young, you know? Maybe he's more like 50 by the time we get to "a new reign" and all that.

I think Wigfrid is the same age as Charlie, since they're contemporaries. Winona has been looking for Charlie for 10 years, so she's probably pushing 40. Wilson we all know is 30 and broke af. Woodie is canadian, I think Walter, Wendy, Abigail, and Webber are around the same age, 10-12, while Wurt is the youngest. She acts kind of like a kindergartner to me. Wickerbottom is probably in her 60s. Warly seems like he's 40-something, and I can't really put an age on all the non-human characters (Wortox, Wormwood, WX-78), but I think Willow is in her 20s, and Wolfgang's in his 30s. I think Wes is like, 22, because at the rate his luck was going, it would have been a miracle for him to live to be much older than that.

Ultimately though, they're cartoons and age doesn't matter much!

HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!!!❤ Webber wanted to paint everyone’s ‘special’ colors aka Willow told him about it and he got excited

[ancient-sentrypede]

The shadow thurible quotes suggest it smells different to each character, though most describe it as something relating to fire, or simply a foul odor. Here's my headcanon list of what each survivor smells from the thurible (and also the canon smells)

Wilson- chemicals Willow- burnt hair Maxwell-roses (of course) Winona- gasoline Warly- burning food Wortox- brimstone (brimstone means sulphur. so rotten eggs.) Wendy- saltwater, candle wax Wolfgang- caged animals, coal exhaust WX- I'm skeptical if they can smell, but it'd be mice Wickerbottom- burning paper, ink Woodie- sawdust, gunsmoke Wes- Soot Wigfrid- Newsprint Webber- Citronella Wormwood- cut plants, burning plants in general Wurt- fresh cooking, stone rubble Walter- blood, brushfire Wanda- I don't know. Old people?

Starvetober day 7: curse

several years have passed and I still love the headcanons that Wilson's arms are like that cause of the throne
