High On Life Theory dump:

Theory A, why some aliens have human names and others kind of don’t: the translator nanites are translating all the alien names to “English” approximations because it’s what the character can make sense of. So, for example, his name isn't actually "Gus" but means something along the lines of what "Gus" means as a name on Earth.(”Exalted,” “Majestic,” or less possibly, “Of Augustus.”) The ones that don’t get this treatment, say, Garmantuous or Krubis, are because there isn’t a translation close enough to it for the nanites to infer anything from so they just let it be. Theory B, Knifey’s true species: I think he's "Gatlian" in that his species comes from Gatlus. I have a theory that most Gatlians ambulate kinda like worms or in the case of Gus's species, octopi, but if you were to pull the leather off of Knifey's "Handle," he would probably have spider-like legs and crawl around on them. The blade is actually an augmentation, or perhaps just a sharpened and shaped horn. Knifey’s species probably evolved on an island somewhere on Gatlus separated from other areas which allowed for some unique differences compared to other parts of the planet, a phenomenon observable on Earth. Look up Owl Parrots for an IRL example. Theory C, Gatlian anatomy: Gatlians can shoot stuff out of their butts as an evolutionary overhang for trying to escape predators. Knifey’s people can do what they do because climbing cliffs all about them on a particularly metallic island area of the world was just the easier way away from predators. Theory D, There are many “Gatlian” species: Jist look at all the anatomical differences between Gus, Creature, Kenny and Sweezy, and realize that alone is all the argumentation I need. They’re all still collectively referred to as Gatlians to save time tho.

Theory E, the last one, is a behind the scenes one: I know part of Gus’s references for his design included a muppet/yipyip looking thing but I think all of them are actually based loosely on Boglins as a general rule, Boglins being a product Roiland at least is demonstrably familiar with given the fact that Rick from Rick and Morty owns one.

I will now include some pictures of IRL boglins for demonstration.

There isn’t really a po9int to this post, I just needed to scream these into the digital void.

OC doodles, more info Abt em below vvv

G-33 / Gatlian Rick

- born human, had an experimental backup body that was Gatlian. Fiddling with the concept of augmenting one with his portal gun, this is the result

- Can make himself human again whenever he wants, just doesn't want to/prefers his weird little gun alien body for the Novelty. Other Ricks tend to be grossed out by him or weirded the fuck out that he decided to be his own portal gun

- His Morty is still alive and kickin'. If they're out Adventuring/doing whatever, Morty arms himself with Rick.

- He's self efficient enough, if C-137 could make due with the body of a pickle then I think G-33 is doing just fine. Able to fire live ammunition and portals on his own accord, has emergency bug legs if not having limbs is too inconvenient

H-95 / Soft Rick

- Lives in the citadel, has been long since estranged from his original Family. Has been working for the Morty Agency for years.

- Especially jaded and grouchy, even for a Rick. Other Ricks tend to go for low hanging fruit quips at him, he's heard them all before. Could not give a shit anymore.

- "Soft" in multiple meanings of the word, he has a soft spot for Mortys and is generally good with kids. Empathetic, does his job at the Agency well.

- His Morty was assigned to him through the Agency, aptly dubbed 'Hoodie Morty'. Hoodie's og family died and was portaled to the citadel as the single survivor. He currently lives with H-95 at the citadel.

- H-95 is working towards finding a Smith family to adopt Hoodie

- Gives better hugs than any other Rick in the multiverse

I-5000 / Nerdy Rick

- Comes from a universe where everyone is some flavor of nerdy stereotype and this was just normal to him.

- Imagine the utter shock and betrayal he felt upon learning that his place in the multiverse was being repeatedly shoved into lockers and getting wedgies, but instead of trying to fit in he doubled down on the schtick of being the Nerd Rick (out of sheer stubbornness and un-swallowed pride)

- Left his former universe behind after his Morty died in an accident, moved to the citadel.

- Some years later on he'd try out the Morty agency, and meet H-95 through it. Found him to be an absolute stick in the mud which was fun to prod at. The pair bonded over being 'loser' Ricks.

- Elf Morty hails from a version of earth where dnd type races were common place, he's of Elven blood. However that version of earth had been taken over and destroyed by an evil wizard. He's skittish and jumpy, and can hear trees talk (which isn't necessarily enjoyable usually).

KENNY ISNT DEAD LESFREAKINGGO

[surveillance-0011]

Other misc HOL hcs that im just putting in the same post bc why not

Douglas is capable of driving and has a motorbike. Probably wrecked it some time before the game's events and it's in the shop or something. Not like he should be allowed on the road considering he's usually. Well. Yknow. Decent driver when he's sober though.

Also his lil fins flop down when he is sad tired or sick

Angela wears colored contacts. His actual eye color is purple (like in the concept art + model in the art book).

Krubis did try to crash the wedding between his wife and Giblets. it was a whole thing within the g3 for like a month or so

Mux owns the space versions of twitter and tiktok alongside Muxxalon. Muxxalon also has a streaming service full of very, very trashy and unoriginal content.

Moplets and Furgles share a common ancestor and are part of the same order. It's like humans in comparison to lemurs.

Furgles are often used in experiments not just by the G3 but in the scientific world as a whole for the same reasons animals like rats and fruit flies are used (simple, still adjacent/similar enough to sapient species, shorter lives which means more generations to be studied in a shorter amount of time)

Krubis skateboarded as a teen/young adult.

Giblets would kill a man for a white chocolate mocha. He has killed for a white chocolate mocha. He will kill again. Posthumously, even. Don’t fucking test him

Garmantuous’s species starts off as aquatic nymphs that resemble joints. They’re very small but grow to the huge size they are in game.

Gene deals with chronic pain from overexertion during his line of work and phantom + growing pains in his legs.

Knifey, pre-DLC, felt distant from the others. Initially it was all just work but seeing the bond between the Bounty Hunter and the Gatlians form + Gene start caring for other people again made him feel a lil left out

Granted it was not like he talked much to others and for a while he didn’t gaf at all but ig when he saw it all he eventually took a chance for a change of scene. He didn’t realize everyone else kinda counted him in, in the end

Either way he’s usually the type not to talk unless someone talks to him first or if it’s about stabbing and maiming killing etc etc etc or something he needs. Gradually opening up more but he’s actually pretty quiet on a day to day basis

Helen ends up working with Gurgula as a secretary/record keeper (squanch games please keep this gag running I beg of you)

[thatpunkwriter]

Can you write a one shot about Gene? (With this premise but feel free to change it however you want):

> A bounty hunter who has a grudge against Gene bececause he stole their kill or something breaks into the house, and is all like "I've trained for 10 years, I am now ready to face you, Gene Zarufian!" And he's just sitting there in the couch, in all his legless glory. So of course BH and the guns try to defend him, but it quickly turns out the newcomer has a very strong moral code and won't face them, so they kinda talk it out.

> And then later Lizzie comes home to a new alien living on her couch.

Sorry it took a while to pump this one out lol anyways

It was just another boring day at the house. Bounty hunter, Gene, and the Gatlians were all watching alien porn or some shitty B movie. They sat like that for a while before the door suddenly bursted open with a loud BANG!

"Gene Zaroothian, you son of a bitch!" A loud, dramatic voice boomed from the front door. Bounty hunter sprang up from the couch and grabbed Kenny, who was the closest gun to them.

"H-hey, what the fuck?! You can't just– you can't just do that, man!" Kenny yelled.

"I've trained for 10 years, and now I'm ready to face y—" the bounty hunter at the front door paused, his eyes widening as he saw the state Gene was in. "The hell? Dude, where's your legs?" He asked incredulously.

Bounty hunter stepped in between Gene and the other bounty hunter and aimed Kenny right at this unknown alien's head. They motioned at his gun and then the floor, signaling for him to drop it.

He put the gun down and put his hand up defensively. "Woah, cool it, man...I ain't gonna fight you anymore. That goes against my moral code..." he was still clearly angry.

Gene squinted his eyes and studied the other alien. "Wait a minute, Craig? The hell are you doing here?"

"Wait...You know this dipshit?" Sweezy asked.

"This fucker stole my kill!" Craig's voice was laced with salt.

"That was, what, 20 fuckin' years ago?! Let it go!" Gene argued back.

"Guys, guys, why don't we just talk it out?" Creature intervened, in his usual chipper tone.

"C-Creature's right," Kenny agreed, "we don't h-have to argue like this. Let's just talk it out..."

Gus patted the spot next to him with a soft smile, "C'mon, pal." He encouraged Craig to sit down on the couch.

Craig sighed and sat down on the couch reluctantly. "...fine..."

Bounty hunter set Kenny down on the couch and sat down themself.

"So, why exactly are you pissed at Gene?" Creature asked and tilted his head.

"Well, it all started 20 years ago..." Craig recalled. "Me and Gene were on a bounty run. I thought we agreed that I was gonna kill the bounty but no. Gene did it instead." He ranted.

Gene rolled his eyes, "It's not my fault you were fucking around."

Before Craig and Gene could start to argue, bounty hunter glared at Gene. They had a stare that basically said 'apologize'.

Gene sighed, "fine. I'm...sorry." He said hesitantly.

Craig begrudgingly accepted his apology, "I'm sorry too. It was...stupid of me to hold a grudge for that long."

They made up and everything was good. And then Lizzie came home.

Lizzie walked through the door, "hey, I'm ho–" she saw the new alien on her couch. "Who the fuck are you?"

Ru-ju-gun-au:

Hey!...hey you two over here!

Hey, i heard you've been looking for a gun and i'm looking to go sighting see on this planet. So...umm...would...like to pair up? I mean we could go on adventures and stuff?

Jaune: Ruby-

Ruby: Nope. Nuh-uh.

Kenny: Oh, c-come on! I just got done with my last adventure, an- and I'm ready to go out- go out on another adventure!

Ruby: Uh-huh. And what happened to the last guy you went on an adventure with?

Kenny: Oh, y-y'know, s-s-sometimes... Sometimes people disagree on things. Gatlians are people, too, if, uh, if I wasn't making it clear, uh... wh-who people I referred to. Earlier.

Jaune: What kind of disagreements?

Kenny: Y-Y'know, people just disagree on things and they can't agree on things, like, some people like pineapple on their pizza, and some people don't, right?

Jaune: We-

Kenny: Uh, n-not that I've had pizza before. Nobody ever gave me pizza. But y'know, if you like pineapple on pizza, that's- That's fine, too!

Ruby: You got into an argument over pizza?

Kenny: No! I mean, it wasn't really about the pizza. It more, like-

Ruby: They're dead, aren't they? They're dead and you need someone to protect you, right?

Spooky Season with the Gatlian Cast!

I drew this a while ago and decided to wait until Halloween day to post it, but still, Happy Halloween!

[kleiner-ghost-high-on-life]

If you’re doing the drabbles still: Gus telling Creature about what Gatlus was like before the G3 invasion? Or just the two trying to bond sometime after the events of the game or between bounties

The drabbles are open, always 🤲 Thank you for the ask ^^

Here's to two sweet lil' guys bonding while BH and the rest of the team are out kicking butt. (and a tiny bit of existential angst)

"Hey, Gus, Gus," Creature called out.

"Huh - What-" Gus jerked awake, "What's up pal?"

He'd dozed off a while back, during a particularly boring part of a documentary on Earth sea slug reproduction that Lizzie had put on to annoy Gene. She’d “hidden” the remote by the staircase, before heading out, leaving the trio of Gene, Creture, and Gus to watch the thing.

Gene only complained for about 5 minutes, before falling asleep, and Gus was quick to follow. He hadn’t quite realised how exhausting a life of bounty-hunting would be, and didn’t complain too much, if at all, when Bounty Hunter left him and Creature at home during this one mission.

Creature on the other hand seemed utterly unaffected by fatigue. It seemed like the added stress of constant near-death experiences was comparable, or even lesser than, that of constantly having a dozen kids.

“Were you sleeping?” Creature asked.

“Yes pal,” Gus blinked in annoyance, “Did you wake me up just to ask that?”

“No, I just wanted to make sure you weren’t dead.” The Gatlian shrugged, as much as his shoulder-less body would allow.

“I was just sleeping, why would you-”

“This movie Lizzie put on, it’s got me thinking,” Creature turned towards the TV, he paused for a second, his gaze lost in the wavy colourful shapes of sea slugs merging into a singular non-distinct mass of alien bodies, “We are the last Gatlians out there. Our planet is gone, and we will never be able to repopulate it again, just the six of us. All our traditions, songs, dances,” he nudged towards the screen, with a melancholic look painted over his face, “We’ll never be like them. My little freaky babies … they will never get to have little freaky babies of their own. You know?”

Gus was at a loss for words. Sure, he knew what he needed to say, which just so happened to very closely align with what he wanted to say, but Creature’s unprompted nihilistic philosophic speech had taken him by surprise.

Thankfully it seemed that Creature’s children were unaffected, as they spent the few minutes they had staring at the mating sea slugs in silent and confused awe.

“Ah, I’m sure there’s more of us out there,” Gus scruffled over and gave Creature a little pat on the shoulder. “Bunty Hunter will keep looking, and so will we. We’ll be alright buddy, we’ll rebuild. There might no longer be a home for us on Gatlus, but we made a good home for ourselves here, don’t you think?”

Creature turned to face Gus, earning him twelve displeased groans from his back.

“You mean that? Because I don’t think you mean that, not after how you got mad at Kenny for destroying our home planet,”

“I mean, he literally caused the downfall of our fucking-” Gus cut himself off, shaking his head. There was no use getting worked up over something Creature didn’t remember, and couldn’t possibly understand.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

“You know, there’s something we could do before the others return. Bounty Hunter won’t get it, and Lizzie might yell at us, but it was somewhat of a tradition back on Gatlus. When someone close, like a best friend went on a very long journey, and we didn’t know when they’d return we’d throw them-”

“A surprise party?” Creatrue excitedly interrupted.

“No, not a surprise party. A bucket of Takeocot purée.”

“A what now?”

“Takeocot purée. I’ll show you how to make it. Well, we usually did it before they left, for good luck and to repel mud-bugs on their travels, but I’m sure they’ll get our meaning.”

The smile on Creature’s face was contagious, and Gus couldn’t help but mimic the grin. It had been so long since he’d engaged in casual tasks like this, and even longer since he’d done anything Gatlian.

“How are the two of you gonna make whatever that thing is, considering you have two arms between the two of you, and no way of getting down from this coffee table?” Gene suddenly interrupted.

“Aaah – I thought you were sleeping!” Creature exclaimed.

His children hissed at him again, in reaction to the loud noise.

“I woke up when you said repopulate,” Gene scratched his face. “Do you want me to call Lizzie to help you with your mushy-mushy bonding activity?”

“No thank you,” Gus dryly stated.

“I mean, he’s not wrong about us only having two arms,” Creature tried to argue.

“Two plus twenty-four,” Gus nodded towards Creature’s babies.

“Oh, right.”

With the roar of a dozen babies who were just told to stop watching TV, Creature’s children hopped off his back and helped the duo down from the coffee table before carrying them to the kitchen, as per Gus’s instructions.

When Gene straightened up on the couch, attempting to catch a peak of what they were doing, one of the babies ran up to him and hissed at his face. He would have bitten him too, had he not puffed out of existence that very moment.

“You know Gus,” Creature spoke while Gus rummaged through the cupboard he could reach, in search of the necessary ingredients, “We should do this more often; you telling me about stuff I’m supposed to remember, me telling you about how hopeless the future would be without my friends.”

“Sure thing, pal.” Gus smiled in reply, “Just maybe without the hopeless future part, next time.”

After watching gameplay of the High on Life DLC, I only have one criticism;

Why the HELL did they just not get Kenny a new voice actor?! The game does not work without him! Sure he can go on and on but that was part of his charm!

Harper’s great but I was hoping we would be getting an entirely new gun, not a recolor of Kenny. And her humor very much falls flat, like she’s cute but I don’t find myself laughing at her comments as much as Kenny or the other guns. They could’ve done so much more with her but nope she’s just Kenny’s blatantly obvious replacement that even characters in game call out.

Oh yeah, apparently we just dropped Kenny! Like wtf! That’s the ending he gets, after all he’s been through?! I’ve been headcanoning that he got captured or stolen and the Bounty Hunter was still looking for him since the announcement, and the best they could come up with is “Oh yeah, you dropped Kenny.”

My OC Casey would never just drop Kenny or any of the Gatlians and just move on. Fucking hell, I’m literally about to finally jump back into writing my High on Life fanfic and as soon as I’m done with the three parter I left off of, I’m making fun of this exact thing out of pure SPITE! My boy no!

*ahem* Thank you for attending my rant.
