A collection of cursed XCX characters I did earlier today on Insta!!!! I think my favourite one is either Buff Tatsu or Catboy Doug w/ heart glasses ❤️

[prkert-underscore]

theres hints of xcx spoilers below! stay safe y'all :3

funny little au came back to my brain, i think it would be pretty nice if you could let me talk about it xenoblade x tumblr oooh

[miran-native]

I know this meme is super old but I haven’t seen it done for this fandom yet, so here you go.

(I know there is a “doesn’t know what McDonalds is” option, but putting all the Xenos in there would have been no fun lmao) 

[fooltrick-a-blog]

hibiki also gets mistaken a lot for h.b. in his xcx au, and by god does it piss him off. while he acknowledges the guy’s talent, he also asserts that h.b. is an asshole who doesn’t look before he leaps... or steals a division’s job without thinking to ensure whoever he gathers to do it is suited for the task.

The NLA Philharmonic

An old hobby of mine is wondering what kind of instruments my favorite characters would play, so I figured I would go ahead and list my silly headcanons for the Xenoblade Chronicle X cast!

Elma: She would probably be the concertmaster, though I could see her soloing on piano as well. She is, of course, the star of the show, just like how she’s technically XCX’s main character.

Lin: Lin would be an adorable trombonist. Just imagine it. It's just a really cute idea honestly.

Tatsu: T R I A N G L E

Lao: He needs a low, brooding instrument. Lao plays cello very emotionally and hogs all the solos.

Doug: Bass trombone. I can see him playing it alongside Lin, just like how he helps her with her skell work (I love the relationship between these two).

Irina: Since she kinda follows in Elma’s footsteps I can imagine her as a serious violinist as well.

Gwin: Good ol Gwin is probably a viola. Bless him.

L: Oboe suits him, though this might just be because all the oboe players I know are walking memes.

Nagi: Honestly I think he could be the conductor, but I could also see him as French horn? I'm honestly having a hard time here. Maybe he'd play a traditional Japanese instrument???

Phog: Flute! Soft and light, just like him.

Frye: He would ROCK the tuba. I can definitely see him anywhere in the brass section though.

Mia: Mia is the ENTIRE percussion section with Tatsu god help us

Murderess: 100% plays violin to piss off Irina. They always battling over chairs.

Hope: She’s a flute like Phog, but doubles as the piccoloist.

Celica: Harp! mysterious and beautiful, just like her.

Alexa: Trumpet! Definitely trumpet. Loud and proud. You go girl.

Yelv: Saxophone; a part of the orchestra but pretty much doing his own thing (he’s a jazz band nerd!).

H.B.: 100% a showoff clarinet player. It’s perfect for him. Feel free to fight me on this.

Bozé: Bozé is on bassoon or some obscure Japanese instrument I don’t know please send help

My Cross, Rook: I imagine her on upright/string bass. An essential part and often the foundation, but not something that’s often in the spotlight, which is fine with her!

If you’ve got any instrumental headcanons for the main cast or for your own Cross, feel free to add them <3

Good news

I am almost caught up to where I was in XCX's story.

And I have to say, I think Chapter 8 is my favorite chapter so far, next to Chapter 5. Just...wow (avoiding spoilers because I really don't know the protocol for this fandom on what counts as spoilers yet).

One more chapter to go before I'm officially caught up with the story, but before go...

That bastard Phog made me cry.

Actually, I think every single companion in this game except for H.B., Yelv, and Elma have made me super fucking sad, especially Hope (can I hug all my children, please?).

God damn magnificent characters, crew. Every single one of these people are so precious to me.

Mates relationship *trying to not becoming it a shipping post.... FUCK!*

Okaaaaaaaaaay, what the hell did i just write?!!!! this is not what i wanted to write ISTG (kind of)...  never mind. For whatever developing between the characters  and my cross is cos my analysis on the characters and the interactions in the gameplay(of course it's subjective, i can't avoid it). I always like to question every word said by the charas, and do an inspection about the interaction so: this is what came out. 

Yelv is a good character and i love to see yelv/cross interactions (andiwillendupshippingitifthecharactersfeelsnaturaland”true”tothecanon/notjustforyelv/4everypartymembertoo). 

I rly question the ppl who said that the characters on X are worst than the xcx charas cos lack of character developing and poor personalities... PFFFF LIES!!!!, all of them develop in a subtle eye away from the main plot, just look carefully and pay attention adding a little brain is enough, they all are great (i can’t even say which one is the weakest character there). 

Want to do the same with other important members (just dk what will be next....suggestions?... anyone?..lel i know) and it will not be as corny/drama/issues as this for sure, adding little funny HC  (which couldn't do here cuz lost the control of what I was typing...istg) Also idk how to add some external crosses since all of them are the same and this HC comes from my gameplay... HOW?!.

Their first meeting was in NLA, Natasha had been allowed to take her first walk through the city freely and her first intention was to talk to as many people as possible to gather information. It was then, in one of the narrow alleys on the commercial district she ran into that rather grumpy man who immediately jumped aggressively trying to make her leave. Natasha, a bit perplexed, tried to talk to this man again without any success. It was the first time someone had been unkind in what she had been treading on these new lands, H.B. wasn't a thing yet. Minutes later, marked the spot on her communicator as: "asshole here, avoid the place"

It was a wrong foot starter, (after accepting the affinity mission) Yelv asked her to perform some tasks  to prove if it was really true that, between mouths go round about the new survivor. They said she was pretty and qualified, taken in by the beautiful commander Elma, his former trainer in the reclaimers division. If she was taken by her, she must be capable of success and maybe she will help him to achieve his goal since no one else wanted to listen or help him, apart from that, lot of them were a bunch of pathetic weaklings. 

In response, she simply ignored him, made excuses at his insistence, and finally aimed him with a weapon to get lost... <<The kitten has claws and he likes it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)   >>

We all know that story and the rest of it. Natasha accepted it of course, after all: an order/a mission has to been done (robot complex). 

For Yelv, she was bleak, cold like a computer and a bit tasteless. It made him wonder if she was human and despite everything, she seemed like a well-trained puppy who you can give an order and she brings you the world, so he figured it might work anyway while he would keep doing his things at his way.

Perceptions changed a little, right after their first encounter. Natasha found an imprudent hothead guy which didn't measure the size of his tongue nor the limits of his thoughts (and loud, VERY LOUD) also, honest and a good man, he was different... and needed help with his combat methods. On the other side, Yelv found gossip wasn’t wrong, she was capable, quite capable. She was swift and clear, precise, nimble, a bit wild after a while, she banged with the weapons, strong kicks and hits, If the enemy was very large, she'ld easily ride the beast to hit it at key points, also used the environment in her favor and as an extra weapon, she really knows how to move. <<Damn! she was sexy>>.

Yelv had been satisfied, Natasha could definitely help him but they had to get a couple more missions done so she could open up a little more. In fact, was a short time that she had stopped appearing tasteless. Time that gained more and more recognition among BLADE members.

During the course, Natasha began to be bolder with her interactions and behavior in general, even beginning to make small jokes with such a serene countenance causing dismay on him. <<Is she was serious or was teasing him?>>. Anyway, she started to be more friendly and welcomed, while seemed everything that comes out from Yelv mouth made her laugh <<At last someone was laughing at his jokes!>>. 

A good friendship. Natasha always was supportive with him and vice versa, trying to made him progress with his combat skills since he had strength and a lot of potential but wasted cos wasn't focused properly every time, rather he easily get distracted and unnecessary confident that being knocked out was common on him. They worked in complement that made them an unstoppable duo, or at least that was what Yelv said. While she weakened it he gave it the knockout, sometimes was the other way round.

Natasha found on him a great supporter friend, a comrade who during her excursions Yelv was the only one who didn’t contain her or reprimand her for not following the security protocols ( Frye and Mia too but they were different...*also Alexa-skellshead* Mia was good tho) or stoping her to exploring inaccessible and dangerous places; she loves to explore and he likes the risk. She also felt a connection since he was the only one who also suffered from amnesia. So their conversations could open up a little more to just earth memories, people they lost or skells obsessions, they could have much more casual, volatile and more fun conversations .There were few people with whom she could have such conversations, but their common ground made it more pleasant (sometimes the conversation topic was his lost friend but it was fine, as it was interesting * until he was over obsessed* ).

Nat stopped to worrying about recovering her memories, maybe it could carry her to something she didn’t want to remember.... What if she had lost someone too? maybe a lot of loved ones, or maybe no one which it makes it saddest, better to let it like this and enjoy their new home. Yelv was agree, but also told her that somehow not remember those who gave their lives for her was inconsiderate.

It was not a secret that Yelv developed a feeling for her. Well, since the beginning he never stopped to call her hottie/ babe and after a while pard (coming out from the translation pard=Figura=figura mujer= hottie). Lin knew it, Elma knew it, Nagi knew it (when Irina found out, she didn’t get him out of her threats), and many companions who had never imagined working along on occasional missions because of her. Yet Natasha did not seem to notice it and that  was good, because his priority was his lost friend, he didn't wanted to get distracted by love, love was for the weak ones and  if he wanted a lassie, he just take some when he desired and get some fun. But not her, she was his friend and in some way, she resembles him his lost friend because of her kindness, worry and her constant assist in people's problems without  judging them.

The fact that she reminded him his old friend was not good at all either. It also had something bad, that is, his friend was the cool guy with whom all the girls wanted to date, the one with the ease speech and everyone liked him, he was so good that he was his best friend: he who was nothing to his side, damn!, even getting chicks was difficult as hell for him, fighting indigenous was easier than conquer hearts.

 Well that also shared with Natasha who was a gorgeous and intelligent woman with a big heart and now quite recognized among all BLADE, citizens and xenomorphs, more than one did not take their eyes off her (issue that made him even more jealousy and aggressive with the men around her, some women, definians (god, he hates definians!) and suspicious xenomorphs in general). Even so, she was still joining someone like him. All this made him more unsettled: Getting distracted, avoid her, walking close to her because jealousy protective, belligerent and more obsessive about finding his friend. Whatever to put all his thoughts of her away and definitely wasn't going to admit his kind of crush on her, although it didn't stop him to strutting like a peacock in front of her, trying to impress her and get some hint that Natasha could showed attraction to him.

You know the rest (so so), their relationship is balanced with good and conflictive moments between them. Neither of them are perfects and the developing of a relationship took too long due to the conflictive, insecure and obsessive guy and the fearful concerned and dreamy gal. The ghost of her past made her feel fearful of get attached to  things, persons to love because having materials and people in her life means that all this can disappear and becoming  her vulnerable: “they can’t take away anything from us if we have nothing”. 

However, following that kind of life also made no sense and by that time Natasha had a large circle of what she could call friends / family. To reach this logic wouldn't take more than it would take the man to admit his feelings and tell her. A big surprise by the people in charge of the artificial intelligence program  since it was not provided, the question was whether this could help or could be harmful.

The fact that Yelv isn't a normal human been only adds a small but surmountable conflict. Natasha is just a similar case on the opposite side of the situation; That is, mechanical engineering and sustainable artificial intelligence was the counterpoint of the induced biogenetic engineering and modeled behavior.

Whether they came to know everything or only one part of it would be another conflict surmountable and material to forge a better relationship. Besides that regaining Natasha's knowledge would aid in the advancement of the manufacture of organic matter and the subtraction of consciences to obtain new organic bodies, or otherwise prosper as half machines.

Their relationship developed slowly (but save). Lot of time to become a couple and even kisses were a thing who also took a  time(due to the nervousness/ distraction of his and a distracted/trolling Nat, it also depends on how was the declaration.... which has infinite possibilities *notgonnawritteaboutit...or...amI?NO!*), another one for the next step and more for the next steps. Patience wasn't Yelv's fort and yet he survived that way controlling all the mess of a person he was because he focused all his energies and Natasha kept him at bay.   He also knew that sometimes she had crazy ideas ( with a mind out of her), it was better not to lead her that way cos some times it was creepy. 

It is possible to say that in the case of Roxanne’s arise, it would generate tension since obviously Yelv was a primitive guy with a poor education type that doesn't come improving the human species (purpose of their creation) or nothing important to contributing (in Rox's point of view), also he wasn’t a human!. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Done (?) I had to stop. Also gonna add these sketches here... whynot?!.

[wiffhuff]

Did a style test for something I'm working on (⌒_⌒;) Can you guys figure out what style I tried to do?

Ngl Frye looks super cursed (prob cuz he looks a decade younger) , but I'll def tweak some stuff once I figure out the fullbody designs

*There's IS a reason why they are younger than their canon ages, but I'll explain it in another post.

I think I like how Yelv is shaping up so far. Just have to adjust the proportions a little bit, so I might reference a different generation for it.

I'll talk more about this thing once I have developed some more worldbuilding and ideas to the plot I'm writing for it ^^ Can't wait to do more studies for the other characters!

[wiffhuff]

*slams cup* ANOTHER XCX AU

So yeah Ace Attorney Xenoblade Chronicles X AU based on the first trilogy. Nothing as serious as my other AUs; just wanted to draw the gang in funny frilly lawyer outfits. Made Phoenix be Yelv because 1. it’s funny to imagine Yelv as a lawyer and 2. There’s some dialogue of Elma being Yelv’s mentor previously in the game.

Anyways I’m going to go back into working on this and my three other AUs lolololol

[wiffhuff]

Version 1 line up of the main trio in the AU. I'll probably make changes in the future, but I'm glad I put something down to kick start what they would look like ^^

I like Frye's outfit the most since it had some XCX inspo there as well. I honestly had no ideas for H.B. so I copied elements from the Gen 8 trainers lololol. For Yelv, I took various pictures of Pokemon breeders/ranchers as references.

A small tidbit of the AU:

Set in a new region called Miran (Not tied to any canon regions atm)

Everyone is aged down cuz I wanna fit the Pokemon universe a bit more, but also I can write funnier stuff

There is XCX creatures planned to be in the AU, but still figuring out the logistics and balance of pokemon design and XCX design philosophies

Tyrants are going to be a major thing in the AU and I am VERY excited to figure out that stuff

There's a plot I'm still writing out, where pokemon catching is illegal and being a pokemon trainer is more of a job to protect citizens from dangers outside of cities

Frye is a new pokemon trainer, Yelv is a ranch hand working at an illegal Pokemon farm, and H.B is a rich dude who got tied up in their mess

Yeap there's gonna be an evil team like in Pokemon games

Main character is Frye cuz I am biased

[wiffhuff]

Woohoo Sharon Effinger in the XCX Highschool AU!

Changed up her hairstyle because I wanted to go for a princess look than a refined bun. I did a modified version of the Japanese Hime cut, since a more wavy type hair is pretty popular.

I’ve always wanted to give the “blazer-over-shoulder” look to someone in the AU, and I’m so glad I gave it to Sharon. It really gives off the “rich girl” aura I wanted her to have. The sweater vest helps with a preppy vibe too.

Notes:

- 2nd year student (16-17 years old). Her friends are the same as the ones in XCX like Yolanda.

- Has beef with Irina, because Irina has dirt on her and vice versa. They’re kinda in a stalemate of potentially exposing each other but never actually going through with it. They more or less just bicker whenever see each other, but they eventually realize it was pretty much stupid judging each other without actually knowing what’s under the surface.

-ALSO has beef with H.B, but not as harsh as with Irina. They just try to show each other up. They do get in a fight, and Sharon absolutely beats him up. Her nails look like they can do damage ngl.

-I’m also likely keeping her parents alive in this AU because I like to think the whole plot with Dale Gibbon COULD happen later, and I rather not have anything too dark in a mostly simple AU. Though I could play around with Dale Gibbon being a creepy stalker or something.

-As for the thing Irina said, it’s true lol. Sharon also has one more cosmetic secret I may or may not draw out.

Translation notes:

Left - Sharon laughing while sitting down, Irina passing by saying “Are you still stuffing your chest?”, Sharon screams “SHUT UP!” in response as Irina mutters “L + Ratio” while sticking an “L” sign.

Right - Sideview of Sharon’s hair called “Hime cut [hairstyle] but curled”, an arrow pointing that “hair is pinned back”, A picture of her hairclip and describing the flower part as an “embossed design”, a showcase of her outfit including her “blazer”, “vest”,  “short skirt”, and “knee-length stockings”. Finally a section describing her makeup as listed: “Blush [Or coral tbh idk makeup colours] eyeshadow, cheeks, lips”, “semi-purple contacts”, and “lashes”.

[wiffhuff]

Uh here H.B. fanart cuz I love this guy

Never had a character that made me feel both “oh I want to kick you in the arse sm” and “absolutely great love your vibes” everytime I see him.

Ngl I was debating to keep his glasses cuz I love his glasses, but he’s definitely the type to take them off in fancy events 😩

[wiffhuff]

Mmmm yes Hector Birtwhistle 👁👁✨

I keep forgetting how to draw digitally, so this looks really weird. But i dunno I do like the hair rendering I tried out this time ngl-

[wiffhuff]

Stupid edit I made when a friend sent the og comment to laugh at

[wiffhuff]

I remember making these cutscene edits when I found out what font they used in XCX.

Lovely time I had :))) Tho idk where I got the screenshots of the swapped character models. If anyone can point me to a direction, that’ll help a lot so I can credit the og modder ^^ I know the last two screenshots were pulled from Helsionium’s affinity mission videos on YouTube!

Also I find it funny most of em are H.B. please ignore me haha
