The biggest disservice in hifl is pairing Eva up with...that

[seduceme-lovestruck-thearcana]

@lovestruck-shenanigans oh my gosh. Look at the beautiful bOYYY EHWBSBW.

[lovestruckvoltageconfessions]

Man, they REALLY need to upgrade Elmer’s sprite so his art style matches everyone else’s. It’s jarring to see his cheaper looking sprite next to the LIs and even the NPCs. Which is sad when we’re made to believe that he and Eva are in a relationship now.

Dont even fucking think about hurting Elmer you asshat.

G/t Mech AU One-shot Go!

Sounds like a bad Power Rangers ripoff, haha. Or some kind of anime attack. Anywho, I managed to whip up a one-shot based on the G/t Mech story written by @unicornofgt ! If you haven't already, go check it out, it's pretty darn good!

Now, without further ado, here's my AU one-shot!

"Team Two, this is Base.  Reports put target at the south corner of the quarry."

Ares keyed his headset.  "Team Two copies, Base."  He smiled at his monitor's camera, linked to the video feed in his partner's helmet.  "Look alive, kiddo.  We're going hunting."

"What are we hunting?"  Carter asked as she gave a quick glance at her own camera.

"A widdle wabbit," Ares chuckled as he engaged a few switches in the cockpit and throttled up the secondary power.  "Gonna blow him to smitheweens."

The 83-foot-tall Carter Hopkins, decked in her full 'mech' armor, strode over the seven-foot fence at the northwest corner of the old slate quarry.  Her footsteps were heavy and purposeful, her boots shaking the ground and kicking up small clouds of dust.

"Team Two is in the quarry.  Going quiet," Carter reported into her comm.

"Acknowledged, Hopkins.  Your target is still in the south corner.  Good luck."

Ares sighed.  "What, no goodbye kiss for me?"  He griped to his partner.

Carter reached up and gently tapped the armored cockpit on her suit's chest.  "I'm sure Mom sends her love."

"Pft, not likely," Ares scoffed.  "Not after I fleeced her at checkers.  Told her I'd play again with my left hand.  She beat me that time, and was real happy for a few moments."

"What happened?"  Carter asked as she looked around, scanning her surroundings.

"She got mad, flipped the table, called me a clown bast- hold on, we got movement.  Target is on the move, headed toward us."

Carter tensed, ready for the encounter with their target, a Class 3 Xeno that dropped from a portal that opened over the quarry.  It hadn't made a move on the general populace yet, possibly getting its bearings still.  This was the best chance to-

"I think it knows we're here, Carter.  It's getting closer, picking up speed," Ares warned.

"I see it," she replied as she watched the red blip approach their blue blip.

With a screech, the thing came around the final corner and launched itself at the armored giant.  They collided with a solid thud, Carter being pushed back as she kicked her foot back to stay upright.

She had both hands around the creature's neck trying to hold it back.  Taking one hand away, she made a fist and punched the side of its head.  It was knocked away, but its claws had hooked on her chest plate.  She was dragged to the ground, landing on her side.  Carter quickly rolled to her back as the Xeno pounced on her, screeching in her face and scrabbling at her armor, attempting to peel her open.

"Pikachu!"  Ares bellowed as he rammed a lever forward.  The air crackled as Carter's armor was electrified with many thousands of volts.

The Xeno roared as the current ran through its body, electricity arcing over its inky-black skin.

Carter quickly pulled her knees up toward her chest, getting her boots against the creature's body, and pushed hard.  The monster was launched into the air, before painfully landing over fifty feet away.  Scrambling to her feet, Carter aimed an arm-mounted cannon at the creature.  "Fire!" she barked.

Unfortunately, the Xeno recovered quickly and managed to dodge every shot.  It scrambled around a corner where it was sheltered.  Carter pursued it.  "Nice shooting, Elmer Fudd," she remarked into her comm.

Whatever Ares' response was, Carter didn't hear.  The Xeno launched itself around the corner at the giant.  She was expecting it though, quickly raising her left fist and driving it into the monster's chest.  Dropping to one knee, she followed her target to the ground, before beginning to pummel it with both hands.

"Beat it like it owes ya money!" Ares crowed as he ramped up the suit's back-mounted power plant.

Claws scrabbling, the Xeno scratched and tried to tear at anything it could reach.  It managed to hook a hydraulic line in Carter's shoulder, snapping it with a hiss of draining fluid.

Carter's right arm grew heavier as the hydraulics began to run dry.  She'd still be able to move, but now the suit was slowing her down.  "Got a problem," she told Ares.

"Yeah, I hear the alarm," he responded, quieting the 'Hydraulic Failure' notification.

The creature knocked Carter off balance and the pair tussled before coming to rest with the giant on her back.  The Xeno roared at her again.

Suddenly Ares' voice yelled, "Dump truck, on your nine!"

Turning, Carter saw the big yellow truck sitting within arm's reach.  Snatching it up, she crashed it against the Xeno's head as hard as she could.

The monster stumbled back, disoriented.  

Carter sat up and raised her left arm.  "Fire!" she ordered.  The round flew true, hitting the creature and knocking it back.  "Fire!" she called as she got to her feet.  Every round hit home, driving the Xeno back until it hit the quarry wall.  Carter looked up.  High above was an overhang of stone.  She smiled as she took aim.  Ares needed no order this time.

Carter was reclined back in her hangar berth as her armor was being removed.  The chief mechanic gave her a dirty look at the broken hydraulic hose.

Ares was leaning against the guardrail, chatting with his giant partner, when Commander Costelnock strode toward the pair, her heels clicking on the walkway.  Ares snapped to attention, which the Commander waved off.

She turned to Carter.  "Mission accomplished, Hopkins.  Pretty good fighting out there."  She glanced at the beaten armor.  "Pity you couldn't keep your armor in better shape," she said with a small twinkle in her eye.

Carter wanted to shrug, but couldn't while she was being worked on.  "Occupational hazard, ma'am."

The Commander looked between Ares and Carter.  "The bitch-slap with a dump truck was a nice touch, by the way.  A bit unorthodox, but desperate times, right?"

Ares nodded.  "Yes ma'am," he agreed.

"Oh, and Ares," the Commander continued.  "I got a phone call this morning.  Mom and dad wanted to fly out and visit next week.  You'll be there, won't you," Skyla Costelnock not-asked her brother.

Ares chewed his lip.  He hated times like this.  "Count on it, ma'am," he sighed.

Skyla smiled.  "I knew you'd pull through for your big sister."  She patted his cheek playfully before leaning in to whisper in his ear.  "And they want you to bring your special somebody," she whispered, gesturing with her eyes toward the giant watching them with a smile.

Commander Costelnock saluted the pair.  "Dismissed," she said before taking her leave.

Ares groaned, "Damnit.  Can't get out of this one.  Shit."

Seeing the engineers were done with her upper body, Carter reached out to the platform and carefully carried Ares in her palm until he was near her face.  Her short dark hair framed her face beautifully, and her whiskey-in-sunlight eyes gazed down at him.  

Ares felt his knees shake and his heart speed up.

"Don't worry, I'll be there with you.  Besides," she whispered with a smile, "I just got fitted for a new suit that I've been dying to wear."

Ares stared at his giant partner for a few moments, before collapsing in her palm with a nosebleed and a lovestruck, dopey smile on his face.

Huey, Elmer, and Monica: how good are they at mimicking/imitating each other's speech and personality? Do they ever do this? (This is more of a fanon question, but if they do it canonically let me know.)

Honestly I think there are no instances of any of them doing it explicitly, which is a damn shame, because they definitely imitate each other for fun. The closest canonical thing I can think of is at the end of 2001 when Elmer is comforting Phil… and finishes with something like, “Man, Huey makes this philosophical BS look so easy…”

Fanonically (what a terrible word, let’s never use it again):

Imitating Elmer is not difficult–all you have to do is insist that people smile at inappropriate times!–and Huey has often done so. Sarcastically, as early as 1705. It was not initially a fond imitation. It soon became so. In modern times he’ll still make the occasional wry suggestion that someone should cheer up. Victor (for instance) tells him to not even start with that.

Huey and Monica occasionally made Elmer-like comments to each other on dates and such. Conversely, before they started dating, when Elmer and Monica were gossiping about Huey/scheming how to get him to go out with Monica, they would occasionally imitate him. Elmer got himself Glared At the first few times he did this, until Monica realized that he meant no harm by it at all. So she eventually started doing it back, usually preceded by, “You know how he is.” She imitates Huey the best out of anyone in the world. Comes of watching him so dedicatedly.

Imitating Monica is… tricky, since she has so many faces. Huey can pull off the Mask Maker when it’s appropriate, but never really thinks to try to imitate any of her other aspects. Elmer occasionally imitates Monica’s lovestruck staring at Huey for Huey’s amusement, but it’s not a very good imitation and Huey’s not particularly amused (mostly because he’s embarrassed).

Now that Elmer's getting a more prominent part with Eva, can he PLEASE get a new image. He looks likes a Squidbillies character...

YAS GIVE MY BABY RYLAND A ROUTE

I no joke wanna go with Victor. I didn’t rlly like anyone else.

And I may or may not have thought they were gonna show Elmer as an option fkwnwnwb.

I want Silvain bC he was adorable and I just dkansbbqgw. I wanna get Merik not much but maybe... Imagine meeting Silvain parents and they’d be like, “omg you found a human,” bc they’re magical and human fkwnwnwb. Oh my gosh now I really want him god dang it lovestruck better give me hIIIIM.

Only person I like is Ezekiel and I don’t want him anyway fkwnwnwb.

Anyway then it said do you want more LIs seasons or new LIs

I want more for existing LIs because I mean like Roman, Zain, Lucien, and anyone from SE and people from QOT. They need more seasons and more attention right now. When they got like 5 seasons THEN Lovestruck can focus on new LIs and take a bit longer to make new seasons for existing LIs. I do want more for Diego but that’s not the only reason I’m choosing that fkwnwnwb.
