thinking abt that one ask you gave me, where you asked abt an au where parrot dies in capital city

and the theory where the allay that parrot has represents luigi

what if i mash them up?

an au where parrot dies in capital city reincarnates as an actual parrot (whose invulnerable) and follow wifies and dean and helps them whenever he can

bonus points if he still has his hero thing and tries to do things on his own

ohhhh my gears are turning. im thinking. im thinking, kade.

i actually really like that. um. wifies being consumed by grief at first, and when this random parrot starts following him around, at first he waves it off, trying to get it to leave him alone, because your first wouldn't be that this is your best friend who just recently died.

parrot gets sick of it, and once when wifies snaps at the parrot like "what? what do you want from me?", parrot just pecks his cheek, because he used to pinch his cheek lightly when wifies was annoying him back then. it takes wifies a few more pecks to connect the dots. and when he looks at the bird like "parrot?", parrot just bonks his head against wifies gently, because wifies used to do that to him.

but yes, i totally agree, parrot would still have his stupid hero complex. he'd try to fly ahead, or do things on his own, and dean and wifies would have to stop him and remind him that he's a small bird now, and no, he's not flying ahead or does that thing he's trying to do. parrot hates it.

i like the image of parrot perching on one or their shoulders, or basically nesting in their hair. he just lays down on their heads and chills there.

Hi Slay the Princess people I return from the inktober void to bring you a handful of broken glass I hope you like it

Mixed media is really fun I really like how this one came out

Better sketch of my Narrator design under the cut cuz I forgot to take a picture of this one before I shattered him lmao

He’s so silly.. Tiny little nerd glasses

I based him off a raven, because I like imagining the voices as crows, and I wanted him to be noticeably different from them but yet still similar

Here's a fun fact about owls:

they are. silly

[evrytjjme]

wanted to redraw this scene in when he punch us lmaloaosooaowoal

and bonus for a wide and silly banbaleena

bc everyone in Reclaim is an animal hybrid I imagine eye contact is often perceived as hostile (or a sign of being nervous) unless you're really close with the person.

Blink tends to stare unblinkingly (due to the autism) (he was named ironically)

Troy instinctively avoids eye contact (due to the autism) but bc of his dad and being in a public position he learned to mask and make consistent eye contact

what do you think duck’s stance on love is?

Long story short, I think his perspective on it is insanely warped.

Short story long, I think he really really wants to love the other two, but is so insanely clueless on how to. I think my good friend Bear worded it once as “I don't think he's capable of providing much but he is absolutely going to force the others to let him try.”

I think that’s very apt.

But okay! Let’s get into it!

First things first we need to establish about my favorite little guy in the universe is that love is something that’s very important to him. He is the only one of the three who mentions love outside of it’s allotted episode. Once in the interview,

And twice in his song in family (which trust me we will GET TO)

It’s something that he obviously thinks about and is obviously important to him. I think if you want to get real nitty gritty you can even pick apart his individual lines in the Family song and see through his first line I’ve highlighted here as a definite facade, because in the second highlighted line he goes right back into what we got established about him in the (debatably canon) interview which is that not only does he want to love, but he wants that love to be reciprocated. To love and be loved in turn. Pretty easy goal right? Most people have that.

It’s how he goes about attaining this goal that I think makes him totally balls to the wall nuts. And to talk about how he attains this goal we NEED to talk about:

His Relationship with the Other Main Guys Around.

Now, if you read and really listen to what I have to say about this guy, you will often hear me saying that he makes a lot of assumptions and especially in regards to feelings. I have touched on it previously in this post. And with all things I say, I don’t say this without reason + evidence.

I think he does this fun little horrible thing where he assumes that HOWEVER he feels about the other two is the way they feel about him. Unquestionably reciprocated. I think this because of two scenes in particular, the Best Friend Debate at his funeral and his insistence that they are a family in Family.

Now, let’s break down these two scenes and I’ll highlight the bits I think are the most important to my point.

BFD (Best Friend Debate) is a classic, everyone knows it by heart, but the point I want to focus on here is these few lines-

Here we see Duck make an assumption about the nature of his relationship with Red Guy, namely, that it’s much closer than it actually is. Duck feels that they’re best friends, so surely the other party MUST feel the same way. When RG pushes back against this assumption and doesn’t respond the way Duck would like, instead of backing down or trying to realize that maybe he was mistaken, Duck pushes it further.

It does not matter if Red Guy doesn’t think they’re best friends. Duck thinks they are and so that is the truth. In his crazy little head, at least. Anyways, pay attention to this next bit, because it’ll crop up again, RG pushes further, emphasizing that he DOES NOT feel the same way and instead of accepting it…

Duck digs his heels in further and starts coming up with reasons. Here being, well you have to be my best friend, I’m leaving you my things, I wouldn’t do that if we weren’t close!

It is a little bit pathetic. And it gets pathetic-er!

Onto the scene in Family. It runs pretty similarly! Duck makes an assumption about his relationship with the other two, in this episode, it’s that they are a family.

The other parties involved in this assumption reject it. His immediate response to ‘No we aren’t.’ is “Yes we are!”.

Then he begins his reasoning….

And it goes on.

For the rest of the episode.

Just near-constant trying to justify his assumption and give reasons why they ARE  a family and fit Lily and Todneys weird criteria (most notably trying desperately to emulate the Family Meeting) , no matter what the other two had to say. And he continues this weird bargaining (that is NOT working btw) until he is forcibly,physically removed from the other two.

That is the ONLY thing that gets him to stop. And even then all he does after is just sing his sad little song that just keeps emphasizing scenes of him with the other two, where the other two just fade away and he’s alone.

So! To establish what we know so far:

Duck wants to love and be loved in return.

Duck assumes the other two love him the same way he loves them.

When the other two object, or say they don’t, his immediate response is they they do, actually!

When that doesn’t work, he starts looking for evidence/justifications for why the other two are wrong.

WHICH IS A HORRIBLE CRAZY TWISTED VIEW ON LOVE. Like you cannot just ‘yuh huh’ someone into feeling the same way about you that you feel about them. You cannot just force these square pegs into these triangle holes!!

And all that’s not even GETTING into how weirdly obsessed he is with the other two, how I think that fuels his relationship with the house/their world and the weird complacency that plays into that.

The first point btw, I have touched on before! On these posts! ( https://dhmis-autism.tumblr.com/post/727102688807043072/my-headcannon-is-that-duck-has-been-in-a-state-of , https://dhmis-autism.tumblr.com/post/726233248232079360/i-feel-like-the-original-series-was-red-guy )

But for now!! That’s a rough intro to how fucked up I think this birds perspective is! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

I like to think that Russell the kiwi is still at Mclaren and still visits the former drivers sometimes (he's banned from Ferrari tho, but that doesn't stop Carlos from visiting him)

Waitttt, since we know John had gotten bodies in other universes, and their relashonship mostly doesn't survive, that means theres gotta be a universe where gay marriage is legal (or john gets an afab body or something), they get married and then get an actual divorce

[moonyjulian]

Valvert monsters and mythical creatures au fic idea. Cosette wants Marius to meet her dads, who are vampire and werewolf, but she didn't tell him who is who before their visit. Marius ends up being accidentally disrespectful towards both of them, because he incorrectly assumes who is who. Both Valjean and Javert immediately understand what is happening, but instead of clearing misunderstanding, they decide not to do that and instead just watch the guy make a fool of himself. Only after the dinner Marius finds out that he f-ed up and tries to apologise, but Valjean and Javert both thought it was funny so everything is good in the end

Terrorsaur is such a creature, honestly, and I'm glad you also agree that he's basically Starscream (until Starscream shows up that one time, lol) Also, his pterodactyl hops when he walks are hilarious.

Sort of related to the poll, but I'm going to be so honest here, if I had to hear another one of "Terrosaur — terrorize!" accompanied by that screech I would go insane, so that takes points away from him.

still smash though

He didn't think his name through too much. At least not long enough to remember how it'd sound with his activation code
