Day 76

[splitster]

answering more POM WRAITH au/Pingo asks!!

featuring: biology questions, creatures, dingo (unfortunately), and more!! check it out ↓↓

she does need sleep! she doesn't need to sleep as often as people, but she's a little wraith and she needs to snooze every like... i dunno. three days? sure, let's go with that.

although in the first few days of her being on PNF404, i could see her getting bored one night and poking around her crewmate's rooms to see what they're doing (spoilers: they're all just sleeping). in the morning after, dingo talks about a very bizarre dream he had with a specter watching him sleep! everyone dismisses it as the ranger having some weird sleep paralysis, but pom's sweating at the table thinking about how she should be way more careful if she does that again.

this ask did inspire me though, i'll probably make more art explaining how she works sometime later hehe...

that'd be scary... although, if there's anyone incentivized to wraithify olimar, it'd probably be the plasm wraith! that golden goo is really fond of him, and they'd love to make olimar just like them

WAHH THANK YOU!!! if they ever dated and got married they'd be able to save on a dress! hehe

she might look kinda scary but she's a sweetheart!! pom would genuinely struggle to make herself hurt humans. if there's a beast threatening her crew though -- that thing is mince meat!!

WAAAHHH THANK YOU!! it's definitely a challenge to make it fit with the other wraiths but still be unique... it was fun to design though!!

IM SORRY i didn't get to your ask before i actually posted the full wraith design... there she is though!! HILAHERHLIAEERH

yes!! he's the first one to discover her secret. it'd probably happen on accident out on the field pretty early on when pom is forced to defend herself with no pikmin, but it's no difference to Oatchi -- pom is pom! he'd bark and give her helmet a lick, and when pom realizes her rescue pup isn't scared of her it's quite the relief...

i have art of oatchi and wraith pom i'll be posting later!!

WAHHH... this is cute i like this hehe!! dingo sees those striking X eyes and still falls in love!! GRRRR i must draw more pingo now...

AUGH.... OK!! more pingo on the way then boss 🫡 (i do appreciate it though lmao)

she doesn't need to eat human food, but she does need to consume living creatures for biomass! human food is definitely delicious and she very much enjoys things like chocolate or hot coco, but to sustain her form and keep up energy she has to go for creatures

i'll probably make art for this later to explain better, but it is kinda like an amoeba -- after killing something, she can cover it and dissolve it with her goo. easy peasy!

Louie: You're a wraith? I thought you were just weird like me Pom: ... Louie: ... Can you go get creatures for me

pom is trying her best to understand human social cues and etiquette but it's a struggle sometimes!

i took psychic damage from this ask thank you for penis ringo💖

YES!!!!!!!!! there are so, so many ways that could happen and each one is hilarious... i've written out a few different scenarios, i should pick one to draw out... it'd be funny if dingo learns her secret but decides to trust her and keep it safe. but he's, you know. dingo. he's not good at lying, especially to his crewmates (and especially to his actual childhood friend of a doctor who was already very suspicious of the new blood!)

of COURSE i'm very abnormal about those two.... actually if y'all have scenarios you wanna see with those two, send more asks and i'll probably end up drawing them lol

that's actually a really good question! i haven't thought too much about how her full wraith would visually change, but if she ate enough and got stronger i imagine she'd finally be as big as the other two. she'd probably gain more wraithy abilities and attacks! trying to take down a powered up full wraith pom would be a very difficult fight, even for those with the best dandori skills and a full squad of pikmin

Pom: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Shepherd: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Collin: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Dingo: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Yonny: this is gonna be fun Bernard: (doesn't care if people find out) Russ: (doesn't care if people find out) Oatchi: bark

Thank you so much for the SSB art of Olimar and Captain Falcon my brain decided to fixate on there (one sided friendship? I guess?) the language barrier thing is something iv thought about to. I would love to see more interactions between them may I request more art? please tell me some of your headcanons if you want to I'd love to hear them!

You have no idea how much I’d love to draw more for their weird dynamic. For starters I think the Pikmin would HATE Falcon, at least at first, they probably wouldn’t let them anywhere near Olimar. Like they would throw full on tantrums and attempt violence

Olimar wouldn’t be too fond of him either, but he’s also too nice to be mean so he’d probably still give him a chance at friendship, albeit hesitantly. It doesn’t help that Falcon doesn’t quit and he assumes that they’re already friends, but once they’re ACTUALLY friends the Pikmin probably wouldn’t leave him alone

As for the language barrier Olimar would be able to understand Falcon, but not the other way around. He would have probably studied everybodies native languages before he came and added them to a translator in his suit, so he could understand it, but not speak it or write it and the moment Falcon finds out he can actually understand what he’s saying he wouldn’t shut up

Falcon would get especially excited after he finds out Olimar is also a captain even if it’s just the captain for a freight company, few things can be as universal as saluting a captain 🫡

Also still trying to decide how Olimar would react to seeing Falcon without his helmet for the first time because that has potential in my goofy little brain

Anyway here’s something I managed to draw, hopefully I can do more sometime!

so i'm about 24 hours into pikmin 4! and, as far as i can tell, i'm not even close to done. i figured i'd write something related to my thoughts on the game so far anyways

first off i want to say that this is my first pikmin game and HOOBOY is it an amazing introduction to the series! it feels really accessible and easy to pick up and play, especially compared to some other games i've played in the past. it's definitely not the most challenging thing in the world, but isn't overwhelmingly easy either! (i only won that dandori battle by a hair...)

this is actually one of the first games in a while - maybe the first game i've ever played - that i've felt compelled to 100% everything in. something about finishing every cave, finding every treasure, and rescuing every castaway feels so rewarding!

im also. very normal about the worldbuilding and environments. all the creatures are so cool!!!

my most major nitpick is probably how limited the customization options are. what's there is good, but i just wish there was more to it

i will make a bigger pikpost when i finish the second half of the game 🫡

ask dump

i haven't answered asks in a while so i'm gonna do a bunch

check it out ↓

AHHHHHHH oh i'm glad that y'all liked that louimar story/comic -- I do have more stuff planned for it! i have a bunch of sketches, i've just been swept up in some other ideas i've had haha. i will make sure they have their happy ending🫡

THANK YOU!!!! AHHH!!! hehe yeah olimin can hit pretty hard... plus Rule of cool dictates he's allowed to damage his helmet for that scene

OUGH... i love that blog but i'm admittedly unsure. i have some ideas on how to make it work with pikmin 4's release (rescue corp would be added to the list of askblog characters), but i'm daunted by the effort it may take. maybe i could pick it back up if there was interest, and if i stayed very sketchy and loose with my art so it didn't take years haha

my olimar has been diagnosed baby girl... the only cure is pikmin yaoi💔

AAUUGGHH THANK YOU!!! i try my best... i must channel pure clown energy into every little pikmin guy i draw....

😨
