pikmin 4 spoilers! it's over a year old now so I don't really feel bad

=-=-=

finishing up my deathless runs of the 4 games, so I'm back in the Pikmin brain. Anyways brainrot about the bootleg Koppaite Trio in Pik 4

They're really cool to me! I love that even though Hocotatians are known to be the treasure hunters, these three form an unlikely trio to find treasure to help solve the food crisis. A skilled mechanic, an ex-ranger, and a veterinarian! I also love that they're each individually connected to part of the Pik3 Trio. How did they meet? Did the Pik3 Trio know about how they're tangentially connected before their mission to save Koppai (ignore timeline shenanigans)?

Don Bergman is also super interesting to me. His nickname for Charlie, his old partner, is Ducky! I know it's comedic that his scar came from him and Charlie fighting over a piece of food, but imagine the angst potential. Imagine the two friends who were once partner rangers being stretched too thin during the food crisis, changing them and tearing them apart. Imagine adding personal stakes.

Oops

Poorly explained pikmin lgbt+ hcs part 2 electric boogaloo

Part 1 btw

Yorke: bi

Nelle: lesbian(I can see Brittany being bi, just with really high standards for men. Nelle though, yeah no she’s a lesbian)

Don Bergman: gay(he and Charlie are exes lmao)

Delta(character D): aroace, uses they/them pronouns

Aunty Bea: trans lesbian(I want y’all to take a look at Brittany’s descriptions of her and tell me she isn’t gay as fuck, especially with the dusk pustule notes)

Grandpa Drake: doesn’t really talk about his sexuality at all, but the grandkids suspect he’s bi in some capacity

Lin(Oliwife): I think she would be the same as Olimar, either a straight ally or demi

Sagittarius(Olimar’s son): bi(he and Libra came out to Olimar as teenagers)

Libra(Olimar’s daughter): lesbian(she looked at Brittany and Momo one day and went “I can date girls”)

Santi: honestly I flip flop around his gender a lot, but he is gay or maybe achillean, she/he for transfem Santi

who are these guys

[starlightswordfight]

[kiwilittle]

Cleaned them up :3

[hana-bobo-finch]

I’m still bitter about how I accidentally deleted the nelle drawing. I’ll probably end up recreating it because I adore nelle for the sole fact that she’s a veterinarian and I’d sell my kidney to get a job in that field but anyway for now take the surviving doodles of the nelle-pocalypse that were SUPPOSED to be a bonus to the more detailed drawing but I guESS NOT

Also some yorke appreciation because I love his design

[fullmoonfireball]

did anyone hear a single angelic note

[luridparty]

a little nelle and dobbs? as a treat 😸

[mewkwota]

There be those other two Koppaites from the other set of Koppaites. No I didn't forget about them, I needed to figure out how to draw their head shapes. (The top two sketches are my very first tries)

Rescue corps: casual

and thats all my references for the time being! just to have a post that i can keep track of for all my casual references, im putting my Hocotations and Koppites casual here as well

Some brief design studies

So, it’s stated in game that Alph got a haircut based on Charlie’s hairstyle, I have a hc that Alph grew his hair back out after the events of pikmin 3.

For the second picture, I’ve drawn Charlie like 2 times before this, and it was honestly difficult getting his design down. Don however, this was 100% the first time I’ve drawn him. I see a lot of people give Charlie a duck tattoo so I decided to do the same, the tattoo says “I refuse to sink” in koppaite text btw, Charlie’s hairstyle is supposed to be a mix between a ducktail(lol) hairstyle and a mohawk. For Don, I changed his hairstyle a bit from the canon material, much like I did with Alph and Charlie, mainly so he doesn’t look too similar to the other castaways in this game. Also the scars on both his ears is supposed to be based on doberman ear cropping(big disclaimer, I am very against ear cropping, this is just a design choice.) I included Emily with Charlie and Don cause why not.

okay i do like them

FINALLY HC POSTING ABOUT THE KOPPAITES!!!!

– alph is not cis I don't know what to tell you. I personally really really like transmasc alph but I think it works in any direction you want to take it

– my god he is the second youngest of fifteen siblings. did not ever know an ounce of privacy OR of peace and quiet until he moved out, and now is incredibly sensitive to noise. he loves his family so dearly but It Got Loud In There. uses noise cancelling headphones during his work ONLY when it is safe for him to do so

– god awful sleep schedule PLEASE help him get out

– has an alarm for literally everything

– I think he would enjoy scrapbooking if he knew what it was

– makes this face often

– brittany, to my knowledge, is the only person in all four games to have a dress-like spacesuit! I like to think she made the adjustments herself or specifically requested for hers to look like that somehow

– wears glasses because of astigmatism. as it can be hereditary, this also applies to nelle. they're cousins but a LOT of their side of the family has it so they just are coping

– used to collect a lot of physical books but kept forgetting to actually read them and now she downloads books instead and also forgets where the downloads are so we are getting NO reading in

– she has a bad habit of hanging onto everything "in case we need it someday" and I mean EVERYTHING. she's working on it we're doing better

– she loves board games!! she also gets Very Very Competitive

– this one is kind of canon if you pay attention but I want to note anyway that she sleeps like a rock. when she's out she's out. hydrogen bomb detonation would not startle her

– charlie should've been an ornithologist and I do not know why he isn't one. I think he just keeps his interests separate from his work. ignore the rubber ducky rescue missions

– he's good friends with nelle, actually! went to her once when elizabeth was under the weather

– in canon he has also interacted with dobbs in the past, though they've since stopped interacting, which I believe is because of a falling out/some kind of big argument that they both regret but still refuse to work out

– gives his friends additional rubber ducks For Luck

– that overinflated ego is, to a degree, exaggerated. charlie in actuality is not half as confident as he acts. fake it til you make it

– walks into rooms then leaves the door open when he walks out and everyone hates it

– dobbs has a lot of scars, actually! the vast majority of them do not have any dramatic or harrowing reasoning. they're all mishaps. has one on his arm from trying to cook once and leaning it on the hot ass pan like I did and now it won't ever go away. the Battle with the Mashed Potato Ball

– WORLD'S WORST LIAR

– has a lot of different proficiencies/certifications, and some are very ... very specific. glad to know that you can forklift, don

– talks like "now listen here, pal" and "newsflash buddy" sometimes

– most likely to have a comically large backpack with every item in it would be don

– he should be good at cooking as a treat. this took years of practice; the mashed potato ball incident was a means to an end. I can't keep referencing my own leftover scar backstory. can they even fucking eat vegetables post cancelled everyone go home

– nelle has a debilitating caffeine dependency

– I think she should be a secret nerd for enrichment purposes. get her in tabletop and it's all over

– she has those mugs with the really really overly specific messages on them like how some t-shirts do it and none of them apply to her

– prone to migraines. they may be chronic. I'm sorry nelle I love you

– hi! my personal hc is that her and brittany are cousins. I just know that canonically they are Not sisters but basically anything else goes? anyway brittany's auntie bea is nelle's mom

– type of person to bring more than one umbrella when it's raining

– hi so yorke and dobbs while on pnf-404 have definitely directly worked with schnauz about perfecting the treasure apprasial AI

– energy drinks are to yorke what coffee is to nelle. don is so deeply worried about them both

– had an emo phase and only escaped it partially

– REALLY GOOD at procrastinating

– I know this man has shrimp posture. that has GOT to hurt

– yorke has more than definitely made really overly complicated machines/systems before to solve really mundane or stupid problems. "they call me the goldberg" "they WHAT?"

Exes or something
