#five glitch techs

[its-rat-time-babey]

I kind of headcanon that Glitch Techs are usually paired into duos whenever they’re on patrol or hunting down a glitch for a variety of reasons (safety when fighting glitches, the ability to pair a new tech with someone more experienced, etc) and only usually group up into larger teams of three or four when something big happens like a powerful glitch or a large amount of glitches in a relatively small area.

And while thinking about that my mind drifted to the actual tech duos you have in the show.

Because you have…

Miko and Five: Regularly get out of messes (about half of which are accidentally made by them) by making a larger mess that cancels the first one out.

Bergy and Nix: I could make a full post about how i headcanon and write these two. Also I kind of did but I mean another one that’s more in detail and mostly just my headcanons about Nix and Bergy.

Mitch on his own: Either throwing himself at the toughest glitch in the area because his name is Mitch “Nah, I’d win” Williams, or stealing kills from everyone else. There is no in between. (He’s counted as a duo on his own because A: He’s about as powerful enough to count as one on his own and B: We haven’t been able to assign a teammate to him because he prefers working alone, there’s an odd number of techs and also because no one else can stand him.)

Zahra and Haneesh: The closest thing the Bailley store has to a functional duo, and they’re both support classes.

can u do more glitch techs? I keep having ideas for Miko and Five sm!!! Like imagine they let you win games after you asked them for tips (like playing Super Smash Bros.) ?? aaa i just keep thinking of Miko and Five hcs like imagine too they let Ally play w/u while they're on a mission or something hjsjkjsksjskllk

@lonleydweller

I can do Glitch Techs, I just need requests!

"Hey Bestie! Guess who just got a copy of an indie game just for you?" She says, eagerly hugging you when she sees you. "It's Super Smash Bros! It's from this indie game design called Nintendo, but I remember that you got frustrated since me and Five have so much experience playing other games, so we should play a new game for all three of us!" She says, jumping up and down on her toes and explaining fast.

Five stands there, waiting for her to slow down. "Yeah, we realized we kind of... ruined the experience of playing a fighting game, so we got a new one." He smiles though, and sets up the game, watching you and Miko in the reflection of the gaming set up.

It took forever, well, actually two weeks and a lot of money lost, but the smile on your face made it worth it.

It's so boring having to stay back while they deal with a boss monster, but at least Ally is with you! She nuzzles your head and lets out a weird form of a purr when you pet her.

"At least you understand it, Ally." She cocks her head and bawks.

"Never mind.

miko + five headcanons pt.1

miko

- she started dying her hair in her bathroom when she was really young, but because she has the classic dark/silky eastasian hair the colour barely showed up. it wasn’t until she moved to bailley that she finally convinced her mum to take her to a salon to bleach and dye her hair

- thinks vanilla ice cream is boring

- has a personal vendetta against wasabi

- she makes star-laces on all her shoes

- dyslexic (which is why she hates paper user manuals, at least on video games she can change the fonts)

- very enthusiastically responds with “SHE SLASH HER!!!” when asked about her pronouns

- changed her username seven times before settling on me_k.o

- cuts her own hair (it’s uneven on purpose to “give her personality”)

five

- sometimes stays awake at night thinking about what other things hinobi could’ve wiped from his brain

- his favourite sweet food is jam-filled doughnuts

- he thinks in spanish when he’s alone but in english when he’s with miko

- loves kimchi

- loves almost all spicy foods, actually

- wants to use he/they pronouns, hasn’t been asked about his pronouns enough to tell people

- used to collect sneakers, stopped when he ran out of closet space

- has a little chip on his front left tooth from when he fell off the fire escape and onto the food truck because he was playing with his vr

- will never let miko cut his hair. the last time someone that wasn’t a barber cut his hair, he ended up with a bowl cut

Since people have been going through my old glitch techs art recently, have some old art I don't think I ever posted!

I think they were intended to go with these drawings , which, looking back on, I do like now.

Whenever I think about (or write) Mitch, Five and Miko, I always imagine Five and Miko like someone took Mitch and split him into his component elements.

Mitch has Five’s planing, ability to think things through and switch strategies on the fly, but also has Miko’s natural skill and talent.

Five may struggle with something at first, but once he starts figuring stuff out and learns the ins and outs of things he gets very good very quickly. He’s not necessarily naturally gifted at games, but he learns and adapts quickly. He can easily outsmart opponents in games, but can fall short in situations where he needs raw skill to get through something. Reaction Time, raw hand-eye coordination, that natural ability to do stuff. He can outmaneuver, flank and read his opponents, but falls short if those options aren’t available. So, he learns and tries to think even harder to stop himself from getting into those situations to begin with.

I kind of headcanon that this is why he was never able to finish Castlestien. Despite knowing everything there is to know about the game (at least up until whatever point he stopped at) and carrying every weapon he could find with him, he lacked the raw reaction time and reflexes to make it past whatever point he got stuck at. The enemies got too strong, the dodge window too short, etc, and it all simply became too much. Even though he knew exactly what he HAD to do, he lacked the ability to actually DO it.

Meanwhile, Miko is naturally gifted. Extremely good hand-eye coordination, near instant reaction times, her reflexes are so good that Mitch himself calls them out as inhuman, and once she’s hyperfixated on a game and fully locked in there’s basically nothing that can stop her. Except, she struggles with paying attention to details and planning things out, with her general strategy in most things being to simply charge in and start doing damage. She’s the opposite of Five. Put her in a situation where it’s just her and her opponent in a game of raw skill and she wins every time, but if her opponent starts trying to outsmart her in any way she starts having a much harder time. Other people in games can read her like a open book, but the problem is even if they know exactly what Miko is doing and how to get around her, knowing what your opponent is doing doesn’t exactly help if you can’t react fast enough to take advantage of it.

Going back to Castlestien, Miko breezed through it until the penultimate boss simply by throwing herself at the game without a plan and letting her natural abilities take her through it, never bothering with strategies or smarter routing or even different weapons and equipment because she’d just throw out any weapons that were weak or didn’t interest her and only use whatever has the biggest numbers attached to it. But once Count Nogrog was beaten and the screen went dark, Miko didn’t bother to go any further, partially because she threw out the item required to progress and partially because she couldn’t even figure out that there was a puzzle to begin with, and I think that even if she made her way through the inverted castle, the puzzle boss that is Count Nogrog’s second fight would have prevented her from finishing the game.

Hell, the boss she mentions gave her the most trouble is The Blade Demon of Truth, another puzzle boss that is literally impossible to beat through natural skill or talents because it literally can’t be beat. But I also have a theory/headcanon thing for this boss.

The fake wall that Miko and Five escape the fight through is weird, mainly the way it’s all glitchy instead of having any more fitting effects for Castlestien. It even glitches out massively when Miko taps it. Plus, when Miko and Five run back through the armoury in the inverted segment, they come from the (supposedly inaccessible) normal exit instead of the secret one, although this could just be regular game design.

So my theory/headcanon is that it IS a glitch in the game and not an intended exit. The Blade Demon CAN be beaten, but probably through some form of puzzle, maybe hitting something in background, serving as a hint of some kind for what you’re supposed to do against Nogrog’s True Form or something. Miko’s fake spike wall is one of those classic glitches we’ve all seen in video games where if you run against a wall in JUST the right way you’ll go straight through it, in this case skipping the Blade Demon fight entirely.

In other words, Miko’s unwillingness or inability to stop and think for a moment instead of throwing herself at the problem at max speed is so strong that she literally found a speedrunning glitch before figuring out the intended solution to a puzzle.

Anyways back to Mitch. Mitch has Miko’s natural talent. High reaction speeds, good reflexes, all of that stuff, but he also has Five’s mind. He plans, he strategizes, he reads his opponent’s actions and adapts on the fly. He’s able to easily plan out his actions and outmaneuver his opponents, but also has the natural skill required to throw all concepts of a plan to the wayside and just start wrecking house if he’s cornered or put into a bad position himself.

Mitch also has a couple of Five and Miko’s personality traits. Going with two easy to identify flaws as an example you have Five’s pettiness and inability to let go of things combined with Miko’s competitiveness.

Five is petty. He holds grudges. As pointed out by another user somewhere in here he’s held on to a single ruined birthday party for years and STILL hasn’t told Miko that they have actually met before because she kept beating him in various games. He can and will hold grudges for a very long time and the only real exception to this is Mitch, who Five is often willing to give the benefit of the doubt to (Headcanon that this is because of a bit of hero-worship. Five learned a lot of what he knows from watching Mitch and he’s clearly a big fan of him, especially visible in Age Of Hinobi because Five hasn’t really known him enough to know how big of jerk he is), and even then we see in B.U.D.S that Five has his limits with him.

Mitch is also petty and holds his fair share of grudges. Just off the top of my head, a some of his “evidence” for Miko being a glitch in find the glitch consists of him complaining about Miko releasing the Chomp Kitty that ate him, sticking him in a bubble in Smashasaurs and “refusing to obey orders”. All times that Miko (accidentally or on purpose) messed with him in the past. He never got over any of it.

And then you have Miko’s competitiveness and also her tendency to hyperfixate/tunnel vision on things. Just… Settling The Score. Best example of both. Miko gets a high score taken from her and proceeds to track down the person who beat her to challenge them personally. There’s also her claim of beating all of the games she’s played, which I’m both headcanoning as an example of Miko adhd hyperfixating on new games and playing them extensively and as an example of Miko’s competitive nature, even against herself in a way. She can’t leave a game unbeaten. Even if she’s not going against someone it’s still her against the game itself. Learning that she never actually beat Castlestien breaks her because for a brief moment, the game has won.

Mitch very obviously shares this with Miko. It’s Mitch. Look at almost any episode that has Mitch in it. The man is practically the definition of the word competitive. Tunnel Visioned on keeping himself at the top of the store’s leaderboard, stealing Glitches not necessarily to deny the others xp (he can keep himself in the lead easily without having to do that), but more as a way to compete with them for who can capture the glitch first. He constantly needs to keep himself at the top, and holds grudges against anyone who tries to outdo him.

There’s a bit more here, more personality stuff and more analysis, but i think I’ve explained what I’m talking about here. Mitch is Five and Miko, put into a blender and mixed together, with a dash of assholery added for taste, or at the very least that’s how I view him.

Hello!! Can u do a glitch techs request? A team up with Miko and Five (:0) With like a slightly younger kid who works with Hinobi?

Ty for reading this !!

Yay! My first Glitch Techs request!

Would they team-up? Yes, absolutely, they're already the dream team in the Glitch Techs universe, and Miko is definitely observant enough to notice Five trying to hide hiding his obsession of someone. She knows the little things about Five, and would probably only get obsessive after she tries to find out why Five insists on teaming up with you, if not for the obvious reason of not letting Mitch get his grubby fingers on your innocent mind.

Sure she's had little siblings before, but they're not like you, so eager to learn more and do better, so easy to trick and get you to do what they want, well, What Miko wants isn't necessarily the best for you... but Five is there to stop her from telling you to ask Mitch where he gets his hair dye and various other hair products.

Five and Miko are both attached in the sibling way, Five wanting to give you a good sibling to look up to, and Miko wanting to have a sibling she wanted. They obviously team-up and keep Mitch away from you, but also insist on showing you off to friends like Zahra and Bergy. Miko would definitely let you do things you shouldn't and take the blame for it, and Five would give you free food whenever you come by the truck.

All in all, they are super compatible and would team-up!
