#even if the canon version wouldnt be like mine i would still likely love the characters in SMG4 either way

[bluestrawberrybunny]

acc sent this to the wrong acc

what would you do if a canon smg5 and smg6 was introduced

Lol don't worry you're fine ^^ You sent it to my main blog it's all good. Though I'll answer it here again (and delete the other response as to not cause confusion for peeps ^^)

Quite frankly? Die /silly

Nah I'd actually sit back and watch the show and compare every little detail between mine and theirs to see if I might have inspired different things, which would make me so giddy because that would mean the team read my fic and liked it

I'd still keep SMG5 and SMG6 around as characters though, mostly because they're still very special to me. Like. I'm even integrating those goobers into other AUs just because of how much I love them.

(And sadly no, not the Schmigadoon AU. Might write a long one-shot about how they would be in the first story, and after Schmicago is finished might write one about that too. Hell or even putting Apprenticeship in Schmigadoon and Schmicago, obviously before the couples are together but still. They're not canon to that AU).

But yeah no I would freak out if there were ever an SMG5 and SMG6 added to SMG4. There would also be SO MUCH art of my versions meeting their canon counterparts and all that stuff.

Hope that answers your question! :D

(Again, dw about sending it to the wrong blog. @bstroobery is still me but also a bunch of different weirdos I'm stuck with for my entire life /silly)

2024/07/23 - MAP VERSION 1.4!

fans of Jak and Daxter, I need help!

I have access to Inkarnate, and i keep seeing people attempt to cobble together the various maps from the games and try to make sense of it, so i figure I'd try out my version, and I'd LOVE some feedback!

PLACES

HAVEN CITY/SANDOVER

WASTELANDS/SPARGUS [Desert Island, apparently??]

KRAS CITY [never played Jak X, concept art has it as a Floating City on water, has to be far enough from a coast to be safe from metal heads, but close enough for Krew to operate in both Haven and Kras regularily?]

Icelands [again, in Jak X, only seen via race track? most people put it far north, but feasibly, it would also have to be close to Kras for the Grand Prix Race thingy. If my map building goes as it is, perhaps it is actually far South? Antartic vs Arctic? COULD also be West of the Precursor Legacy, via the snowy area off of the Lava Village place]

INITIAL THOUGHTS

KRAS CITY IS DIRECTLY EAST, OFF THE COAST OF WHAT USED TO BE ROCK VILLAGE. EARLY MATERIALS/STUDY OF THE FLOATING CITY CAME FROM THE FLOATING BIT OF THE LOST PRECURSOR CITY.

ICELANDS are a Maurader territory atop the same mountains that we originally see the Yeti Babak in from JaD:tPL. The Babak village up there is gone? trading with the Marauders? dont know yet. ICELANDS are up along the spine of that mountain area!

BABAK VILLAGE should probably be moved closer to Haven! where ever it ends up it should also determine where the Eco Mine will be! [also potentially close to the original Blue Eco Temple on the other side of Sandover? I know those are Eco Vents, but its still an area with an over flow of Eco? dunno, theres not much room there for more things XD

I put SPARGUS/WASTELANDS to the far west of both the ICELANDS Mountains and Haven for three reasons!

A La using Australia as a 'prison colony / exile' via the british, you wouldnt Exile people somewhere close by, even if it IS an island? (pls correct me if that's wrong btw) Spargus SHOULD be far from Haven, and it makes sense that you'd need an 'air train' or whatever they call it in the games, to get there, beyond it just being an Island

the ruins from the city that you run around anc corral Reapers in! I have it between the Marauder Colony/Strong hold and the general area where they came from to give reason to why it failed! I don't know the canon around that ruin, but i like the idea that it was a Spargan Colony that fell to Marauders a long time ago, BUT was avenged years later, and the Marauders were forced further into the desert, cut off from their home land after losing that area. It's particularily dangerous to travel, and also why not a lot of people travel past the center volcano, or to the temple in the South East of the Wastelands!

the Catacombs/Subrail thing! please correct me if im wrong! but you enter the Subrail from the Catacombs of said beforehand mentioned temple! and those catacombs/subrail connect to haven, going in a West to Eastern direction, under the mountains, in my little world now!

HAVEN IS HUGE - like, no matter how you put it, Haven is a MASSIVE area??? like, this is wild to me! it makes a little more sense if you consider it a massive area that was claimed by Mar and his Acolytes? (no idea if that's canon) and then the city was built within the walls.

There's potentially to much space between Haven and the Mountain range to its west, and Spargus. [It could all be Metal head infested jungle? But that's on the opposite side of where I head canon the Metal Head Nest to be. The Rift Gate is originally found in the Citadel, but is moved to Sandover for the start of Jak 2, however, this doesnt make sense during the game itself, so i believe that the Metal Head leader (Kor, probably) after emerging 300 years in the past through the gate and wreaking havoc, moved it to the new location that we find during Jak 2. I like to think that the Metal Head nest was moved *back to* Gol and Maia's Citadel [Dark Eco Silo nearby, YUM!], and Mar's Gun, built with the salvaged remains of the gun that helps you get to Klaww, is moved closer, but is unable to be moved. HOWEVER, that puts everyone WAY outside the Walls of Haven, So. I dont actually know at the moment! I'd LOVE feedback please and thank you! gimme ideas that I can use to modify and add to the map, throw headcanons at me, discuss where the Wastelands adn Kras should be, and what sizes they should be?

I love this game series and I wanted to be able to flesh out where exactly everything is in the world out of shear curiosity! [Yes, the clouds are a hint at the areas in the Game-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, The concept of that area is *way* to cool to ignore it!]

[acreaturecalledgreed]

Something something Silco in the world of One Piece, what devilfruit powers would he have? Sorry if the terminology is wrong idk anything about OP lol

ive unsurprisingly put a lot of thought into this bc i will cross the beams at any chance i get i totally have not been making a one piece crossover au version of silco and gang do Not look at me

(for quick context; df=cool ability But also means the ocean Literally Hates You, you cannot swim in ocean water, you Will sink like a bag of rocks, and even sea water touching you can drain the absolute fuck out of your energy and make you feel like shit. luffy spends an alarming amount of time in canon in sea water but thats bc hes a dipshit and just trusts his friends to fish him out)

anyway silco wouldnt have a df power i think hed be personally repulsed at the idea of making himself actively More In Danger in regards to water than your standard "will drown" weakness

which is a hell of a quirk for him to have since i decided hes half fishman (some kinda shark maybe ill say nurse shark this time bc theyre cute and they make me happy, or frill shark bc they are also cute and make me happy) and he actually Does have gills that Would allow him to breath underwater were they not 100% completely fucked via toxic smog in the mines he worked in as a kid

piltover/zaun works bizarrely well in the op verse with just a bit of tweaking and shoving things around and a fun little pile of world building

anyway hes taken up piracy in a bid to amass enough power/money to seize zaun from piltover and like in canon hes doing this with good intentions and bad, bad methods

jinx is there and Wants to find a df, Any df, to eat bc shes fixated on the idea that df=rly cool and more importantly to her df= potentially more "useful" despite that fact that shes already a horrifically powerful marksman, explosives and big guns specialist

sil desperately do Not want her to eat one bc shes already prone to flinging her crazy ass off the ship and she really does not need the trait of "sinks like a literal rock"

singed is ship medic and thats just as horrible as it sounds; hes still developed shimmer and its distributed liberally among the crew which makes them a Lot more dangerous than they'd usually be; silco also views most the crew as pretty disposable

sevika is first mate because Of Course She Fucking Is No One Else Is That Competent; her and sils dynamic is much the same as in canon with him trusting her entirely while still being kind of a dick and her being fully willing to murk his ass if she ever gets fed up with him. they love eachother theyre platonically married lesbian wife and gay ass husband.

theres also a giant axolotl that hangs out around the waters of the ship theyre pretty sure singed is feeding it but its not rly aggressive so its whatever

Bittersweet Reunion - Watch Dogs: Legion [WIP]

(can you tell i had no clue what to name this)

so i wrote this after i played wdl and finished the finding bagley mission bc i loved that there was a canon mlm pairing and i thought the whole meeting bradley thing was Incredibly unsatisfying so i did this and originally i was gonna have bagley and arthur get back together but then it started writing itself and bagley wouldnt date arthur bc that’d go against his morals and i was like shit thats not what i planned but also i realized it was in character so this is that disaster lmao

“I’m ready for the rest of my life, Arthur. And I want you to be a part of it.”

The sixth audio file ended with what sounded like a kiss, and Lindsey had to pause to take it in. Bagley had really had a life— a lover. A lover he had to leave behind.

“Arthur… I should remember more about him. But I don’t.”

It sounded so rushed, so nonchalant, that Lindsey knew better than to believe his tone and even Bagley himself knew it. Because, truth was, he was processing the same things Lindsey was and more. He really was damned to eternity, being a human turned AI and all, because now he was experiencing quite a lot of thoughts and certainly not enjoying it. Where was Arthur now? Did he still remember him? Did he miss him? Why was Bagley even wondering if his not-boyfriend still missed him?

Some part of his human half wondered if it’s possible to find Arthur again, meet the person his past self was so deeply in love with that now he found himself longing for him too.

“Sir—”

“Don’t touch me!”

Bagley was pulled out of the thoughts growing less and less artificial by the second as the next audio file began, already far more emotionally charged than the ones prior.

“These people are here to help you, Bags—”

“Don’t call me that!”

He’s snappish and frustrated and angry and current Bagley could almost feel it too. There’s more struggling as Bagley— past Bagley— seemed to be fighting someone off.

“She did this! Someone stop her!”

‘She’ must’ve been Skye Larsen, who else could it have been? He wanted to hope Natalie would listen— just listen, goddammit, this was all Skye’s fault, don’t you know what she’s done?— but he knew it was no use. They didn’t know. Natalie didn’t know. Not a fucking soul knew what she did to him.

“Don’t hurt him! He’s not usually like this!”

“Get out of my head! Get o—”

His voice died out as more noise played, then an unfamiliar voice called for an ambulance.

“Bags. Bagley. Bra—”

And it ended there.

“I’m assuming that ‘she’ was Skye Larsen,” he said to Lindsey. “Seems like the usual suspect where brain fuckery is concerned.” As controlled as he usually was, not even he could keep the slightest bit of anger out of his voice by the end of his sentence.

The next audio file began with a man explaining that Bagley had early on-set dementia, which intrigued him because it didn’t explain when exactly Skye got her hands on him. Then the sister from prior audio files spoke with that same strangely familiar voice, just as demanding as before. “You listen to me. I don’t care what it takes. No brother of mine is going to waste away in some hospital.”

Something was wrong. There was a piece missing somewhere between those memories and he had an idea of where it could be found.

Skygarden.

“Why do I have a feeling we’re not up here to reminisce?” The audio began as Lindsey snapped the last photo.

“Right. I’ve been thinking a lot about your epilepsy.” The sister. Of course. He still couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but she sounded awfully familiar, but not in a good way. In a this-person-has-the-same-name-as-my-primary-school-bully way.

“That’s nice. My doctors stopped thinking about it years ago. I had to give up so much because of it. Rowing, my mates, my…” A sigh followed after he trailed off and he had a feeling that that sigh replaced the word ‘boyfriend.’

“I’m sorry, Bradley.” Bradley. That name sounded familiar. Come to think of it, that must’ve been what Natalie called him in the seventh audio file just before it cut off. He supposed it sounded familiar because, well, it is— was— his name, but there was something more to it. He just couldn’t figure out what. He ran a quick search for Bradleys in London, but of course that left him with thousands of Bradleys and not a single clue as to how to filter out the useless ones.

“Wow. Look at you using my real name for once. I must be truly fucked.” Fucked was an understatement. How did he go from a human to nothing more than an AI? It wasn’t that he was unhappy as an AI, especially considering he worked for DedSec and they were wonderful, they really were, but to think he was once human…

“What if I told you I had something that could work?”

Something deep inside of him that vaguely resembled a computerized heart dropped at those words. He had a bad, bad feeling about this.

“Ha. Never knew you were funny.”

But Skye Larsen created him, didn’t she?

“I’m not. It’s a tech we’re developing. It’s early stages, but… have you ever heard of neural mapping?”

“No.” No, it couldn’t be.

“Here. Let’s go to my lab. I’ll show you.”

Who was this sister?

“Lead the way, Skye.”

And the audio ended.

“I was Skye Larsen’s brother.” It was strange to say out loud. “I’m Bradley. Bradley Larsen.” That was why she sounded so familiar. That was why Skye Larsen was his creator. Fuck. “Bradley Larsen…” He returned to his search for Bradleys and narrowed it down to one Bradley Larsen, brother of Skye Larsen, son of Sinead and Kevin Larsen. “I’ve found a room pre-paid through to April 4, 2040 under the name of Bradley Larsen— paid for by S. Larsen.” Skye.

“So you might still be alive,” Lindsey said. “Where’s the room?”

He checked his databases. “St. Pancras Hotel.”

And when she arrived, it was no less than what he expected, if less than what he wanted.

He left not quite satisfied.

But what else could he do? His father was gone and his mother and sister were dead. He checked his deep profiler and found Natalie through Bradley, but it seemed she was dead as well. And then— Arthur Jenkins, former spouse. 

“I think I’ve found Arthur from the sixth audio file,” he said. “Mind getting him for me?”

“Say the word, Bags,” Lindsey said.

He found his schedule and looked for his soonest outing. “He’ll be at Crosier & Cherry Tree at 8 PM.” There was a tinge of sadness in his voice at the location that they both decided to ignore.

He checked the rest of Arthur’s profile, too curious to resist. His photo was attached. To his surprise, Arthur was a curly-haired ginger. Apparently Bradley had known more people with no souls than just Skye Larsen. Age 29, worked as a bartender at Crosier & Cherry— that was why he’d be there. Associated with Melissa Phillips, friend; Natalie Walker, deceased friend; and Bradley Larsen, former spouse. Metadata… looking through it could’ve broken his heart if he had one.

He had countless searches involving dementia up until he was 28 and had hundreds of recorded visits to St. Pancras Hotel, Bradley’s room. Hundreds of visits that, when he accessed the records, seemed to just… stop. Daily-to-weekly visits simply vanished into none. Numerous phone calls to Skye Larsen that Bagley could only assume were angry and accusational because he was charged for harassment due to a complaint from Skye on the same day he stopped visiting.

He tried. He really tried, and then Skye fucked it all up like she always does.

“Bagley, I’ve found him.” He turned his attention to Lindsey’s Optik and, sure enough, he could see the ginger in the photo through the glass window. “Want me to bring him back to the Hackerspace?”

He considered it, but bringing him back would’ve meant involving the others. This was just a one-time thing. “No, just— could you get him somewhere I could talk privately with him?”

“Sure thing.” He watched as she entered the pub and approached Arthur at the counter.

“‘Ello, mate, what can I get for you?” he asked, uncannily cheery with a smile on his face. Something told Bagley this should’ve made him feel… something, but he felt not even a twinge of recognition from anywhere other than the photo on his digital profile.

“I’m here to talk to you, actually,” Lindsey said.

“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow and took a second to look her over a second time, his customer service smile fading into skepticism. “Do I know you?”

“No, but I know someone you do. Mind if we talk somewhere else?”

He shrugged. “S’pose not. Better get it on with, then, I’ve got to get back to work.”

Shit. Time was running out and they were already heading to a back room and Bagley hadn’t a fucking clue what to say so when he was cast onto the nearest unwatched telly before Lindsey left, all he could think to say was “Hello, Arthur.”

And then there was a silence where Bagley was internally cursing himself for being such a bloody idiot and Arthur looked like either he was about to drop to his knees in awe or he had shit himself. And then he broke the silence.

“Bradley?” His eyes were lit up with hope, hope Bagley knew he’d have to destroy because he wasn’t Bradley, not really. But he’d worry about that later.

“Oh, Gods, that’s going to be my version of Bradley’s stupid nickname, isn’t it? Though, if you ask me, Bagley is a perfectly good name,” he remarked. He had no idea how to properly handle a situation in which he was meeting the lover he had in a past life, so, naturally, he reverted to his usual self. Arthur was in love with him before, he can put up with him again.

Arthur chuckled, cracking a smile. “Now I know you aren’t Bradley. He hated that nickname.” He took another moment to comprehend what just happened. “But, really, how? How are you— what are you? What is” —he gestured vaguely at the TV screen— “this?”

“That’s a funny story, actually, see—”

“Bradley,” Arthur interrupted him, his smile turning solemn. “I’m serious. Last time I saw you, you were in a bloody wheelchair! What happened to you?”

There was another silence where Bagley tried to think of something ‘serious’ to say, but his actual response felt much more natural to him.

“Don’t call me that,” he said, a feigned grumble but unseen smile in his voice, “that’s not my name.”

And at that, not even Arthur could keep a straight face, but his smile didn’t last long. “Bags. Please. I need answers. I was so sure it was that bitch Skye— sorry, I know she’s your sister and all, but— I spent so long searching for ways to help you and trying to get her to fucking stop— you only ended up in the bloody hospital after she got involved and then she wouldn’t let me keep seeing you and I couldn’t—” His voice broke then and he had to pause, clear his throat and collect himself. “I’m sorry, I tried, I didn’t want to stop visiting. I really didn’t. I’m sorry.”

Bagley didn’t know how to tell him it was all in vain; Skye won in the end, she always did, and he didn’t even remember being Bradley or knowing Arthur at all. As far as he remembered, he’d only known Arthur for five minutes.

“Bagley?”

“It doesn’t matter.” There was no use in prolonging it.

“...What?”

“It doesn’t matter,” he repeated. “I’m not Bradley.”

“Are you mad? Of course you’re Bradley.’

“No, I’m not. Bradley is still in St. Pancras. I’m Bagley.”

Arthur gave a confused chuckle and crossed his arms. “What are you talking about?”

“It was Skye,” he finally said. “It’s a long story, really, but in simpler terms, she tried to fix Bradley’s epilepsy through a process called neural mapping. It essentially separated his consciousness from his body, which gave him dementia and took my human body. I’m his consciousness, but I’m not him.”

Arthur didn’t respond. He seemed to still be processing what he’d just heard.

“And I’m sorry to say, but my memory was wiped not long after my creation. I don’t… remember anything about being Bradley.” He paused. Arthur knew what that meant, and he knew that his next sentence was going to confirm it. “I don’t remember anything about you.”

Arthur took far longer to respond than Bagley would’ve liked. “So you’re—” He stopped. “So Bradley’s really gone.”

“Unfortunately so.”

More silence. “Then why are you here?”

That was a good question, actually. Why was he here?

“I suppose I came to say goodbye,” Bagley said. “Give you some closure on Bradley, so you know what happened. I know you two were quite close.”

He scoffed. “Close is an understatement.” His voice softened. “We were going to get married,” he said. “At least, I think we were. If Skye hadn’t gotten involved— if I’d only had the time— I was going to propose. Had a ring in mind and everything. I’m fairly sure Bradley knew, too. I just wanted us to have that one thing before… before it was too late.”

Bagley had to take a second to let it sink in. In a past life, he’d almost gotten married. How much had he missed out on as a human because of Skye? His voice was solemn as he spoke, a first for him. “I’m sorry.”

“No, don’t be.” Arthur offered no elaboration before something else seemed to cloud his mind. Silence seemed to be something both of them were good at. Bagley considered directly asking what was on his mind, but Arthur spoke before he could decide. “Can I ask something of you?”

“Ask away. I’ve only got the rest of my non-life.”

“...Could we try it again?” he asked, hesitation in his words. At Bagley’s confused silence, he uncrossed his arms, a willing show of vulnerability. “I mean, could we try… us, again? I know you don’t remember anything about me or Bradley and you’re not Bradley, I know that, but— maybe something good could come out of it. Maybe— maybe we could still have something.”

“You want us to…” He trailed off, thinking it over. By ‘something,’ he meant a relationship, but— could he be in a relationship? He was still an AI. He wasn’t Bradley. He wasn’t even attracted to Arthur. Hell, he wasn’t even sure he could feel attraction, if that was built into his operating system. Everything in him wanted to say no, it would never work out. An AI taking part in human affairs was a recipe for disaster.

“We could start from the beginning,” Arthur added, as if he knew what Bagley was thinking before he even said it. “I know you don’t really know me so we can start out just friends, nothing more. We can take it as slow as you want and if you decide there’ll never be anything more, we can just stay as friends if that’s what you’re comfortable with. But if you think there can be more, we can try that.”

It was tempting, but… Arthur was still human. And Bagley was not. “Arthur, I’m not sure I was made for this.”

“Then let’s find out,” he said. “I’m okay with anything you are.”

“No, I mean I’m not sure I was made to feel attraction. I believe that’s a fairly important part of relationships,” Bagley said with a hint of humor in the last sentence, though it disappeared by the next. “I’ve never felt that way toward anyone and I’m not sure you’ll be an exception.”

He sighed. “Bags. It doesn’t matter to me whether you like me as a friend or as a boyfriend. What matters is whether or not you’re comfortable with me. I didn’t fall in love with your attraction. I fell in love with you.”

“You fell in love with Bradley,” he corrected. “Not me.”

Regardless of how tempting the offer was and how curious he was to see the extent of his human capabilities, it’d only be an experiment. A trial run of a relationship with someone who was only willing because he was still attached to the person Bagley no longer was. It would be cruel to take advantage of Arthur’s hope for his own curiosity— no different from what Skye did to Bradley. He might’ve had his human body stripped from him, but he still had his humanity.

“Arthur, I’m not Bradley,” he said. “And I know it’s hard to accept, but I can’t be the person you want me to be.”

[tumblunni]

Really intriguing yokai watch fact!!

Apparantly there's a bit of a translation flub between yokai watch 1 and later games in the series, but its actually more sorta the fault of the original writers for retconning something and the dub team probably lacked that wider context.

Apparantly the yokai world...isnt the yokai world!

????

Or rather the mechanics of how the yokai world work were only solidified in yw2 onwards, so a line was accidentally translated as referring to the entire yokai world on yw1 BUT like it really was referring to the entire yokai world in the original??

Basically its all to fill a plothole and allow future villains to be greater in scope than McKraken. He was originally presented as 'taking over the yokai world' but then when the game was successful enough to get sequels they solidified the worldbuilding and realized that this dude conquering the ENTIRE world kinda would limit them in that. Namely its a big plothole with the idea they had of the royal enma family and this new heir to the throne and etc etc blah. It wouldnt have made sense for all the characters related to that plot to be completely absent in yw1 when its a thing directly affecting them. Of course they were really absent cos they hadnt been invented yet and the only mention of the enma lineage was as a long dead singular dude with a very vaguely defined personality that nonetheless still got retconned in later games. (And also they FINALLY gave us some separate names for all these dudes all named Enma!! Srsly this is like how confusing british royalty gets...)

ANYWAY

The result of this retconning is... McKraken actually only took over the tri state area!

Because this REALLY SUPER COOL new worldbuilding is that the yokai world is made of multiple pocket dimensions each ruled by a different boss yokai, with the enma family just being the overall kings wrangling peace between all these bubble towns. And apparantly each mini world is tied to an area in the human world with strong spiritual connections, which is why McKraken had to specifically attack Springdale to gain full dominance over his particular town/country/whatever you call it.

But the confusion here is that the word used to describe what mckraken rules over in yw1 was one way of saying 'yokai world' and then the next game retconned it by giving a different name. So its like "the Afterlife is made of multiple Underworlds" or, well, "theres the yokai world and then there's yokai worlds, plural".

So you can totally understand how the retcon change flew over the dubbers heads when itd probably fly over mine too! So the dub seems to have never established that retcon and instead left us with the false impression that yw1's original version continued to be canon and McKraken's power level is actually equal to Enma. Yay for a promotion, i guess? I kinda find it more endearing to learn that for all his blustering and badassness he was actually a much lower threat than he seemed, it helps make later villains feel less inadequate compared to him. (Tho still he has the best battle song!!) Also it fits with how his leadership of his army is framed like being a politician instead of a king. He's literally just the local representative of the city council who somehow managed to go mad with power with the smallest amount of power possible.

Tho i wonder if anything in japanese ever mentions who took up the position of yokai-equivelant-of-your-town's new politician after mckraken was defeated? I wonder if it was Mr Barton/Kyubi cos he already kinda acts as the town's guardian. But it seems he spends all of his time guarding the human town so he's more like mckraken's good guy counterpart on this side of the void. Or maybe they'd send one of the Enmas over here as a sort of 'this one went wild, we need the higher governmen to reestablish order and act as temporary leader until a new election'. Which might cause further political unrest cos a populace that was already in disarrey migjt be inclined to cynically see this as the enmas trying to tighten the grasp of their power over this independant citystate. Especially cos Ancient Enma died and now his heir is totally unproven on how well he'll rule as a leader, also he's like 12. So that wpuld make a good explanation for why you only see kid Enma from yw2 onwards and why he's here in the first place. Tho still i would really like to revisit mckraken's world-city someday in a future game and get to see how its changed. Also would be nice to get an actual name for it! Yw3 seems to imply that all the yokai towns are just spooky puns on the original so i wonder what they'd come up with for Springdale? Springdoom?

Anyway this post has got all rambly and offtopic and now im imagining mckraken doing boring garbage inspections and giving out lanyards with his name on them and dealing with paperwork on bus schedules n shit. Srsly 'minor mayor of a small rural district' has COMPLETELY different connotations to 'big evil ruler', and i would love to see goofy ghost versions of all this mundane nonsense! I wonder if they even had an equivelant of the "vote vape party!" type shitty third party candidates? With yokai i can imagine those guys actually being legitimate political threats! "Mckraken, sir, the Nosepicking Party just exceeded you in votes" "NOT AGAIN"

Wow im really goin offtopic

Vote mckraken
