So I recently realized the reason why Jean Jacket didn't (as far as we know, anyway) try to hunt the parkgoers at Jupiter's Claim for the six months or so that she was hanging around the valley (at least, until the Star Lasso Experience, but I'll elaborate on my theory about that under the readmore):
The territory was already claimed (lol) by another large, one-eyed floaty thing.
I mean, yeah, it doesn't look much like a fellow sky roomba, but lots of animals are easily spooked by things that only sort of look like things that are dangerous to them. That's why eye spot mimicry is so popular in butterflies and moths, after all, and why cats are so easily spooked by cucumbers.
But then, why did she come anywhere near the arena for her weekly horsey snack for the six months before the SLE? It's on the very edge of the park, but it's still next to the main area, right?
Well, guess who isn't facing in the direction of the arena?
She might have been just pushing her luck each time, seeing how much more territory she could steal behind Lil' Jupe's inflatable back, or maybe she was just thinking "It's not looking at me, so it doesn't care if I hunt the horses that show up in this gulch". Either way, no eye contact = not a threat.
Of course, there's still the question of why JJ suddenly changed up her behavior during the SLE incident. There's evidence of her rampaging through the park itself when OJ arrives on the scene, like the suddenly empty petting zoo, and the pig on the sheriff's building.
My theory on that is: with that horse statue stuck in her craw, she was in pain, and was fixated on looking for a way to flush her system out. Much like how Gordy acted aggressively and didn't listen to his offscreen trainer like he presumably normally would, JJ was too agitated by pain/discomfort to give a shit about respecting presumed territory lines, and it's not like Lil' Jupe was doing anything to stop her in the moment. She just had "ow ow ow still sore, must find more prey and eat it, that will flush out the sore thing" going on in whatever her equivalent of a brain might be.
(a minor tangent: I will note that there's what appears to be a body of water next to the park, which I think would have probably worked to flush the horse statue out just as well as pureed parkgoer, but who knows if JJs even know how to drink water? They live in clouds, they can probably absorb all the water they need from the atmosphere.)
(Here's screencap proof that I'm not just pulling that detail out of my ass.)
Anyways, back to my main point:
The implication that JJ had been considering Lil' Jupe a rival sky beastie defending its territory for that whole ass six months before the main events of the movie also makes the final confrontation kinda extra dramatic (and funny) in context. It's not just her having sudden beef with a random thing with an eye this time - from JJ's perspective, it's her rival, whose territory is frequently swarming with prey, and now, instead of just lurking near the ground, it's in the clouds with her! And she's already agitated and upset from beefing with the Haywoods, so no wonder she jumped to trying to eat it so quickly. (Not that it ended well for her. Nobody fucks with Haywood, after all.)
lore- jupiter "jupe" arenshaw is a regular guy on earth until he encounters the newest tanta of athia, frey! unfortunately, he experiences some difficulties and finds himself dragged to this world, bound to the strange golden entity calling itself "vambrace" (definitely not cuff) - or "'brace" for short. in order to find his way back home to earth, he must work together with 'brace to find frey, who has apparently left to seek out the mysterious, long-thought dead rheddig...
okay now fun tibits-
jupe uses he/they and calls cuff/sus.urrus either vambrace, vam, brace, or later on 'rus or sussy (when hes really teasing)!
the song is the descent by polaris, that and annihilation by i_o are #1 songs abt them <3
he has some more items from earth than frey arrives with! including: a backpack with a blanket, teddy, some snacks, a compass and a notebook! they were on their way to a sleepover okay, some of it is just random junk i actually carry ahhsdjnskdmd
they're actually designed with the game in mind! so he has a fair few abilities, some of which overlap with freys but most are unique to him! its partly to do with that whole "bonded to sussy" thing that isnt supposed to work with non-tantas. also some of the items give him specific boosts (compass allows u to forage, blanket allows u to gain a buff after each rest and notebook is where all archive entries appear, as if he'd written them down!)
i kind of picture him like a dlc or small spinoff game post fs1 but before a fs2? ill make a separate post abt their abilities tho, dont want this to get too long :3
ref image for the pose (my sc from the game LMAO):
Something something 6:13 is an inversion of 3:16 which is the chapter and verse of "for God so loved the world, that he gave his only son. That whosoever believes in him shall not die but have everlasting life". Which is a verse about God's Greatest Miracle Jesus Christ. But also given the assumption that heaven is "up" instead of a benevolent omniscient being in the sky they are dealing with an aggressive predator who's motivations are far more simple than people like Jupe would prefer.
➪ Charles hasn't paid much attention to you after your daughter was born but a certain Brit does.
➪ Everything seems to be going right and life seems amazing, at least to the others..not for you.
➪ established relationship mom!reader x dad!Charles x lando
➪ this came to me as I was running a high fever, stop judging me..i also needed a charles fic here, No lando in this one yet, Charles ain't a real good partner and google translate is my bestest friend

Rewatched the Nintendo Direct again just now and apparently I was distracted during the funko fusion trailer the first time around, because HOLY SHIT, WHY AREN'T THOSE REAL FUNKO POPS YET????
I checked the game site and there ARE gonna also be tie-in funkos, but neither Em or Lil' Jupe are included in the ones pictured. But the game isn't out yet, so there's still a chance, maybe?
Also, guess who else shows up in the reveal trailer. Can't believe I'm only just finding out about this now, smh
this is susurrus/jupe, its set after the events of fs+the dlc and the other fic i never uploaded....oops. its fine, u'll get the gist of it. also will eventually merge this into the actual story + put it on my neocities lmao
cw: fors.poken spoilers (ofc), mentions of the total destruction of athia and death in general
"ugh, my head." jupiter mumbled out, pushing themself up off the floor onto all fours. in the corner of his eye, the shattered remains of some breakbeast, that he hadn't cared to learn the name of, crumbled back into dust once more.
the last, desperate, attack from it had sent them flat on the ground and he coughed heavily at the rising pressure in his chest.
"now, that was quite the blow..." susurrus let out something akin to a snort, the golden light on their arm thrumming in turn with each word he spoke, "still, no major damage. off you go!"
jupiter rolled their eyes, but quickly regretted it as pain shot through them, "fuck..."
"oh dear, are you alright?" he muttered, tone almost sarcastic in its' sincerity, "how about we just sit nice and quietly for a minute? you still have some of those healing drafts left, no?"
in response, they flopped down to the floor, rolling onto their back to stare into the star-covered nightsky. far above, the distant moons of athia watched as he reached up with one arm, as if to catch it.
"d'you see it too jill?" jupiter mimicked, letting out a snort of exhaustion and ignoring as tears welled up, "you have no idea how much this sucks, 'rus."
"you do know i feel what you feel? i know exactly how much this 'sucks'." susurrus snarked back.
"i meant... the fighting sucks. it hurts. i'm bad at it-"
"-i hadn't noticed-" he interrupted.
"-but athia is so...empty. broken. all this fighting, all this destruction, all this death... it's so much." they mumbled, twiddling a thin strand of gold between his fingers. it had pulled itself from where susurrus lay, embedded in his right arm, and was slowly expanding throughout his body.
some part of jupiter knew, someday it would overtake him - susurrus would overtake him and then... death, presumably. from what little he had learned, very few had ever been bound to the demon and those who had..
the lucky ones died.
"there's so much here i don't understand, so many questions i have. so much of this world, its people, the culture was lost, and for what? revenge?" they continued and shook their head, sighing, "sometimes i think it burns more - knowing the world used to be full - than this," they gestured to where susurrus' golden energy had expanded up to his neck, "whole thing."
he remained silent for a moment.
"it was my duty...-is my duty. athia and its' people had to be destroyed." there was a flatness to the way the demon spoke.
"does it have to be?"
it happened whenever 'rus repeated his orders, jupiter had noted, and the strange spark of hope that sometimes intertwined itself into their chest returned.
"not all of us can escape our fate, you know. some of us run towards it, not away." the demon declared, golden light flaring up around their wrist once more.
"fates not the same as duty." they remarked, "and just because its' our duty, doesn't mean it's right.
"but...what if...you could? just escape your duty, your fate? would you?"
an uncomfortable silence fell as he seemed to consider the question. and, as they stared up at the distant, unfamiliar stars, galaxies away from home, the blonde man's thoughts began to spiral, tears finally spilling out.
"...you should make for a Refuge, instead of lounging out here - its' not safe. there's one nearby." he spoke up in barely a whisper, releasing a trail of miniature golden birds that they had become familiar with.
jupiter sighed, mumbling "alright.." and moved to follow. it was unlikely 'rus would answer the question today, then, but a small smile still wound its' way to them - that he had considered it at all.
and if they noticed the way one of his birds lingered particularly close to them as they hobbled along, they didn't mention it.
jupe has a variety of aesthetics tbh. he can be all decked out in black, ripped and distressed jeans, chains and rings basically encrusting his body, combat boots w a platform on them, will even wear some fake nose piercings - to then just suddenly the next day being in pastels, thick sweaters w sweater paws, layers bc he's always cold, better fitted jeans w the hems rolled up to show u his cute lil bunny socks and in slip ons.
like it really do depend on how he's feeling that day if he wanna go out looking like he's gonna cut a bitch or hug a bitch.
content: sfw, ghost is soft for reader but also tsundere and has little to no idea of how to express it lolol
jupe’s notes: hope u enjoy this lil blurb thing. :] its inspired by an otome i played like seven years ago lol. (dont ask why chocolate keeps appearing in my ficlets) also pls pls show sum love if u like it >_> reading yalls thoughts and comments cheers me up, fr makes my day hehe 💗 enjoy babes
all hearts, reblogs, & comments are very appreciated! ♡
“You hungry?”
Ghost huffs, “Aren’t you?”
It’s harmless, and he’s never unwittingly harsh with the intent to hurt you- it’s just who he is, and you know that.
So you swiftly brush away the flustered pang in your chest, deciding to inch closer to him instead, the burly man settled at the bank of the river.
Gases spill over the tree-line up at the village, tucked away behind poppies and pines on the mountaintop. The two of you won’t be getting out of here for a while- the heli crashed, pilot’s dead. The radio (or the general connection out here in the boonies) is so fucked up that nobody’s responding over it to all the calls for help you tried to make.
Regardless. You fix yourself down beside him, drawing your knees to your chest as a small hand digs through your breast pocket.
“Lieutenant, I—“
Before you can even properly pull it out, (and his prediction skills are beyond you) he’s giving you an uncivil shake of his head, wrapping his gloved fingers over your forearm to stop you.
“Save it, sergeant…” As if realizing his curtness, and the slightly-dejected flicker of your wide eyes, his grip on you loosens, and he murmurs softly. “Rather you eat whatever the hell it is than give it to me.”
You pause for a fleeting moment, thinking his words over.
His dark, chestnut hues sweep over you in uneven waves from beneath his mask, slowly, taking in every movement and micro-expression on your end.
(You wonder what it is he sees.)
When he releases you entirely, you clutch the small, wrapped food tighter in your palm and carefully hold it in your lap.
And for a few weighty, silent seconds- just the sound of fresh water rubbing at the pebbled shore, the pines rustling in the breeze paired with your and Ghost’s shared breaths- Simon thinks you’ve yielded.
He’s wrong.
“But—“
“No buts, pup,” he chastises, tossing you a lingering glance from the side of his eye. It makes you stiffen up some, your own gaze darting away to the lush swathes of grass beneath you.
But it’s not quite enough to sway you, or stop you entirely.
“Just take it, Lieutenant,” you near beg, flashing him that daunting, slow little smile that carves up into the apples of your cheeks. (Never knew something so sweet could be so haunting to Ghost- how ironic.)
He intakes a long, gruff breath.
And scoops it out of the dip of your gracious, eager palms. He looks down at it, the thing even smaller in his big, gloved hands.
Makes a half-amused sort of sound.
A Hershey’s Kiss.
The wrapping crinkles, breaks, Ghost stuffing the flimsy strings of it into one of his pockets before he pauses. And you hope he doesn’t hear the rather-obnoxious grumble of your tummy, observing him carefully, quirking a brow at the odd, foreign glitter to his umber eyes-
Wordlessly, he rucks up the bottom half of his mask and pops the small chocolate into his mouth.
Your scrutiny softens, then, your smile deepening as you linger on him for a moment more, relief billowing in your chest (you were so happy you’d saved the sweet, realizing you could do some good for your Lieutenant out here stranded in the middle of nowhere) as you turn away—
A gloved thumb finds your chin, snatching your attention in as his lips brush with yours.
Ghost’s tongue grazes the roof of your mouth, and amidst the initial shock of it all- the hot spark creeping down to your guts- you don’t even realize the sweetness that invades your tastebuds until he’s already leaning away, licking unsparingly at his lips.
You swallow.
You… swallow. The sugary remnants of the treat you virtually begged for him to eat.
…Dammit!!
Your face is going mad warm and you’re grabbing for his stupidly-strong arm before you can even think to stop yourself-
“T-That’s not fair!” You blurt out, brows furrowed into a cute, flustered pinch that does no favors for the sensual storm stirring in Ghost’s belly. “You cheated- that was supposed to be for you, Simon!”
Simon.
“Well, pup,” he punctuates rather harshly, eyes flickering away briefly- holding some unreadable twinkle to them- before they find yours again.
“It benefited the both of us, didn’t it? …Mutualism at it’s bloody finest.”
(Because he enjoyed it- fuck, probably more than he should’ve… His head spins like he’s been dealt a good blow.)
You spare him one last thoughtful, riled-up huff before turning away, tucking your chin to your knees as you curl in on yourself.
Your heart’s hammering.
Simon’s is drilling holes into his ribs.
But he doesn’t tell you that. And you’d never know, only if he chose to let you—
“Though…”
his low, thick voice strikes up again, and that’s when you realize his gaze never really broke away from you.
You glance over and his fingers are working at his right glove, those dark, inscrutable eyes set dead on you. You, you, you. It sends a chill right down your spine, down to your tummy, to your everything, and your breath stutters.
His does, too, as he suddenly dips in. A large, warm palm swallowing up the soft curve of your cheek.
“I think I’ve got an idea to sate the both of us- properly, this time.”
So, I watched Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone on Prime and it's really good I'm screeching
ANYWAY, in episode four, there's this funny guy called A. Traveler (he legally changed his name to that in canon) and, look at him, he's so cute (yep, it's Steven Yeun, our boy Jupe. Look at 'im)
So, since he's an alien in disguise, my brain thought "alien x guy obsessed with aliens" (not necessarily a ship-)
Should I write something with the new sillies? (I'll call them hat dudes)
A-Traveler!! My guy!!! My fun dude!!
I’m a fan of this series too (I need to finish season two tho lmao)!! This was one of my fav episodes the light flicking just really got to me and I was going “HES THE FUCKING ALIEN HOLY SHITTT” The whole time
I’d love a funny dynamic w/ the two of them. I’m so bad at crossovers/sticking to them but I’d read the fuck out of one.
I wrote a lil thing w/ him and Jack (? It’s been awhile since I knew their names but the guy he shares food w/ at the end). Honestly both the old and new Twilight Zone has surprisingly little fic on it (odd to me as a big time fan)
I’m sorry I have so many dumb ideas since being on a huge Nope high. This doesn’t have to deal with the Au persay but, JJ essitally looks like a moving pancake in the sky in their ufo form. But, concider lil baby JJ’s species. They can vary from the size of a large dinner plate to maybe a car? The dinner plate ones just vibe around bumping into each other making small noises.
They’re so small that they can’t eat a person whole so they just… suck on their head. Just “Oh yeah, this is a lil alien baby.”
Sorry I’ll see myself out.
OMG AND THEY LOOK LIKE COWBOY HATS KINDA
Like imagine:
Amber: “Where’d you get that new hat?”
Jupe: “oh this? It’s not a hat.”
(Jupe lifts his “hat” up and it’s just a little baby JJ)
