Failtopia Headcanons 3: Erica Edition. Yeah, I know she gets a lot of attention already, and there's a lot of potential with other characters, but I think I need to get these out. (Also now feels like a good time to say thank you to @rosetheocto and @littengamer909 for inspiring/ being the first to hear a lot of these.)

Her using bits of her old cleric vestments to stitch up the red garment shown beneath her armor. Something, something, using the mistakes of her past to fix her present.

As both a sweet reminder of his old position as the first team's leader and a writing thing for me because "Failboat" as a name just feels like it ruins a lot of emotion, she calls C!Fail "Captain" after their friendship heals in S2.

Her casual attire is somewhat generic, but she absolutely KILLS in a leather jacket and combat boots. Her favorite piece of clothing is an old red cardigan, though.

She's a closeted geek when it comes to fighting styles, with her own being a composite of several more famous warriors' techniques. Orion was quick to notice when he saw her practicing one night since he actually trained alongside some of those people himself.

She often used writing to express herself and her feelings towards others. Very few people know about this, and the only people who've even gotten to read any of them are C!Fail, Bo, Chi, and... Pirahnyawn, for an also headcanoned reason that I'll probably rant about on another post.

Part of why she was attracted to Bo was due to growing up in a fairly strict, pressuring family majorly responsible for her first job as a cleric; therefore, she saw the ghost's aesthetic as a fresh change of pace while also finding her personality endearing and worthy of being protected. Come to think of it, actually, that's also maybe why she sees C!Fail as a good friend; however disorganized, stupidly optimistic, or brash he could be, it was that charm she liked about him.

She was low-key really stressed when realizing in the dungeon that Mar had hired another warrior before her—even more so learning just how skilled he was—and was afraid of having to go back to being a healer. And even THAT might not have been enough since the team also had a literal angel as their current cleric.

On a related note, she sees most parties with more than one person of the same class as poorly planned out, mainly because a lot of her previous teams were structured that poorly and left her a wreck from trying to keep all of them alive.

Her favorite season is autumn. Nice weather, the light coolness is a perfect excuse to have a fourth cup of coffee, and any walks she takes to let off steam are enhanced by cozy shades of orange and brown. Plus, it's a good time to cuddle with Bo.

She's 100% been kicked out of a tavern at some point for getting into a fight or two. It's less frequently now that she's found other ways to manage her anger, but she's still come close because of how quickly she'll resort to violence if one of her friends gets picked on.

DAILY FAILTOPIA UNTIL S3: DAY 23.

I LIKE TO IMAGINE ERICA LIKES THE DARK.

[malrightnao]

A party wouldn't have legs without it's guests...

Introducing Erica Claire, a long time childhood acquaintance to Failboat, and the first cast member (and potential murderer) in my upcoming fan game, Failboat Has Been Murdered! Coming sometime 2024 (hopefully)

Hey, hope you're well! I was wondering, in regards to your AU once more- do you see Erica having that same cautious/ anxious attitude from season 1 or already being more confrontational, temperamental like in season 2? Sorry if this is weirdly specific.

Not to worry, I actually have a bit of an explanation for this!

In her freshman and sophomore years, Erica seemed dead set on following in her mother's footsteps by going into nursing. However, she realized during the second semester of her sophomore year that she actually hated that career path, and is now undecided. It being a family tradition to go into medicine, her parents naturally disapproved, leading to her more temperamental/"it's not a phase mom" attitude.

In a broader sense, the characterizations are based more off of season 2 than season 1. Hope this answers your question!

A gift of Failtopia text posts

For the big day, I thought it’d be fitting to give you all a new helping of what seems to be everyone’s favourite thing I do here. Not that I’m complaining, these are still a lot of fun to make!

hi,,, F for the fanfic ask game :3

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

while this isnt necessarily a fanfic, its still a dialogue scene, and i adore it

failtopia my beloved <33333

it just makes me cackle

[zekk0kat]

i hope you all know the reason why eribo (as a ship) exist is because i wanted a gf REALLY PATHETICALLY back in 2021 and shipping some dude’s miitopia ocs that interacted a couple of times was my saving grace

[ananinidraws]

Hello! I'm just wondering if you've ever drawn the cast of Failboat's miitopia series? if not, its fine but if so, can i see?

I have not, yet, cuz i just cannot find a good playlist for season 2 for some reason Ovo If anyone wants to help me on this post, please feel free, i wanna watch it but i cannot find the videos Ovo

[gnomey22]

Doing as OP wished for

library outing (please reblog, this took hours)

[rosetheocto]

Hey! Hope you're doing well. Mind sharing your takes on Simple Bob?

Thanks for the ask!! Bob’s basically the CEO of Daniel’s Miis having a bigger lore than just being props for a Mario Kart game and I think he NEEDS more respect for that alone lol

How I Feel About This Character

I LOVE HIM!!!! There’s so much I wanna know about him,, especially his past with Punnyatta!! Dude’s gone through a similar thing to Erica and I think that should be explored more… I love you Demon Hunters/Mario Kart Mii Making it’s a shame that only like 5 people are aware of its existence (and its status as Failtopia’s Prequel)

His whole arc in S1 where he learns to become less simple and develops a personality of his own is just. I love it. it’s so good!!! (S2 post game ruins it but S2 Post Game Doesn’t Exist) also shoutouts to Bob canonically being a flirt fr, looking at S1 he’s got a surprising amount of charisma :0

All The People I Ship Romantically With This Character

I ship him with both Smuk and Rose!! Their dynamic is so healthy to me and they’re all just cute together ngl,, I have more thoughts on them but it’s nothing I can really put to words rn lol

My Non-Romantic OTP For This Character

Erica and Bob, in S1 at least. I like the idea that before Erica’s multiclass Bob gave her a tip or two for how to use a sword! I think that especially after S2 they would be close! I also think that Bob and Punnyatta’s dynamic would be SO FUN to see in Miitopia’s style!! I’d kill for more lore on Bob’s life before TFFM, I hope someday we can get some more info on his first party…

and while this isn’t really an OTP, but I think Bob’s dynamic with C!Fail is so interesting, they were the original duo, but by the end of the series Bob seemed more than willing to leave him under the bus when C!Fail needed his help!

My Unpopular Opinion About This Character

I don’t really have any unpopular opinion on him, unless not liking his return in post game counts! He could’ve worked! Just… not like that

One Thing I Wished Would Happen/Had Happened With This Character In Canon

BOB HATING MAR!! The very few times we’ve seen them interact in Post Game they seemed cool with each other, and that feels wrong to me! With the lore we have now, we know that Mar was the one who killed Punnyatta instead of Hank. He’d hate both Mar and Floop I think, and probably held a bit of resentment towards C!Fail, Chi, and Erica for being so willing to be on a party like this while knowing and experiencing first hand all the awful things Mar did to the world!

[decimal86]

Good day/ evening, folks! but does anyone have any specific songs y'all think would fit Erica? Either ones you think she'd listen to or ones that just remind you of her? Feel free to reblog or comment your answers :]

[rosetheocto]

Hi, hope you've been having a good day! Any more general Failtopia headcanons you'd like to share?

A lot of the characters are nonhuman, but some of them are... well, less human than you'd think. Failboat and Friend are prime examples.

There's an ongoing bet to find out if C!Fail is straight or not. The betting pool is sitting at 600 gold. It has yet to come to a conclusion.

If she had a phone, Shrimp would be an absolute GOD at Project Sekai (she can full combo Intense Vocie of Hatsune Miku on Master). She introduces vocaloid to Big Bill and he gets really into it, especially listening to Deco*27.

Deko is a true crime enjoyer.

Chi occasionally plans date nights with Lanc. These range from a nice dinner to a board game night to a bank robbery. Lanc is 100% okay with all of this.

Erica just... refuses to get her glasses fixed. She'd rather squint at a sign in the distance than get a new prescription.

Do NOT trust ANY of these people behind the wheel of a car. They're all horrible drivers in different ways - Chi goes consistently 10 over the speed limit, Erica gets barely-contained road rage, Orion refuses to use directions, you get the idea.

A milestone of Failtopia text posts

The thousandth (real) post on this account. Of course, it had to be a new volume of the series that started it all, but in order to make it extra special, I’ve also made sure all twenty “main characters” got representation in this volume.

"oh yeah whats that one failtopia fic wheer erica and bo are cringefail?" in the background by gnome_ao3. "whats the one where the horse is a cosmic eldritch horror?" and the void stared back by marisomnia. i could go on

You know you are too deep in a youtuber fandom when you get super excited when you hear that yourubers name

or an upload

or when you can name a fic that the cc is in just by what its about

or when you take screenshots of fanart of them
