I forget what game it was, but there was this scrappy, bare-bones, skeletonized smg with a snail-mag that popped out of the top left of the gun.

And goddamn if that design hasn't haunted me like lost Lenore. Like, holy shit do I love scrap guns that are barely held together. And something about a tiny 9mm or lower snail mag just adds to it.

Not even one of those massive drums like you see on Thompsons. This gun only held, at most, 20 rounds.

Fuuuuck I miss it...

Been getting back into Tumblr and I decided to start posting again lol

[facts-i-just-made-up]

What can you tell me about salvagepunk/scrappunk?

I can tell you a lot about salvage and scrap. And don't call me "punk."

[mr-double-downer]

scrappunk isn’t even a real thing

[sir-stitchess]

I feel like making a list of the aesthetics I associate with each side so here we are

Patton: Cottagecore, Goblincore, soft boy I guess if that’s a thing, Atompunk/Retro-Furutism, Fairy Kei.

Logan: Punk, Cyberpunk, Cybergoth, Steampunk, Onii Kei.

Roman: Fairycore, Angelcore, Y2K??? Maybe I’m honestly just guessing what Y2K even is, Hime Gyaru.

Virgil: Punk, Emo and Goth cause my dumbass can’t tell the difference sometimes, Corvidcore, Corpsecore(made that one myself), Goblincore, Biopunk, Kogal Gyaru.

Janus: Steampunk, general fantasy I guess, Agejo Gyaru.

Remus: Junkpunk/Scrappunk/Scavangepunk/Salvagepunk, Scene and the fucking Gyaru subtype derivative of scene that I can’t find the fucking name of.

Will probably maybe be updated if I think of anything else

Character Research

Dark Solar Nomad

Dark Solar Nomad's have a waspish defensive spirit mecha companion. Their area of expertise will be geared toward survival and spiritualism. They will be able to free, defeat or tame the spirit bots with greater ease. Dark Solar Nomads will have resistance in these storms as well as a spiritual power buff.

I want to use a predominantly triangular shape language as it feels magical and athletic. They will have a blend of scavenged and natural items to denote their connection to nature. Destiny 2 Hunter class comes to mind.

Hunter Class Costume Designs, Destiny 2, Bungie, 2017.

Their companion could possibly look lie a wasp with solar wings.

Frontier Engineer

Frontier Engineers are accompanied by a movable workshop robot companion equipped with early advance sensors. Their specialist skills will involve crafting, including weaponry, and optimising solar output. 

Frontier Engineers will have a square shape language to show their structured approach to problem solving and reliability, as well as their slower and robust physique. 

Examples of inspirations for this character are the main protagonist from Dead Space with his ingenuity at crafting weapons with unconventional components.

Engineers gain experience toward unique unlocks if they are able to safely observe the storm.

Merchant

The Merchant class has a huge hauler and refinery mecha companion. Their special skills will include trade, exploration, connections and optimised routes. The main objective of the Merchant is to create a bustling trade network that navigates the decentralised aspect of self-governing settlements. Being equipped with a hauler, their carrying capacity is larger than the other classes and so they are able to gather larger resources more efficiently and refine them en-route.

The merchant will be designed with a round shape language to denote wealth and connection. The inspiration for the subtle application of this shape language is Madam Kahina from Anno 1800, who has soft, rounded features accentuated by her round turban.

An idea for a round hauler bot:

But I prefer the mixture of rounded and flattened planes in this character design from 86 Eighty-Six, A-1 Pictures, 2021.

This miniature is a great example for a hauler with it's electo-magnetic crane.

Spirit Creature Mecha & Particle Design

As explored earlier, the electromagnetic “spirits” descending from the Aurora Borealis take over machinery in an aggressive and combative way. I want their core aesthetic to be a slightly grotesque patchwork of sorts, as if they are unsure of what form they wish to take, similar to the outlandish design of Howl’s Moving Castle by Studio Ghibli, this also brings in some more elements for the ScrapPunk angle.

Perhaps some of the spirit mecha can have more bio areas and shapes similar to the aliens in Edge of Tomorrow:

Edge of Tomorrow,  Warner Bros., 2014

Howl’s Moving Castle, Ghibli, 2004

For the spirit’s particle design, I want to keep the core shape language and behaviour of the aurora, but as if the aurora was a hive of particles reminiscent of fireflies. Their movement will be take the form of waves rather than swarms as they slowly disperse upwards, changing from violet to green after being freed by the player.

Scrappunk (is that even a thing?) girl character design 

[jam-art]

discuss: what on earth is star wars’ aesthetic in key words? so far i’ve got ragged/gritty (retro)futurism and hints of scrappunk? although that doesn’t even cover the japanese influences in its style... perhaps star wars is an entirely new combination of aesthetics deserving of its own name.

also i am here to say that the next fandom era on this blog is probably gonna be star wars themed

[saintclay]

you actually wrote words for a fic idea you're into???? I can only dream sbklbakfbajgaek

Also. elaborate elaborate ELABORATE (I love yj98 I'll take anything with them in it)

to be fair these words were written in discord DMs and not in the empty google doc folder that I specifically made to put the words in because I'm just quirky like that, but thank you thank you I'll be here all week (:

to give some context I'm going to go into a brief infodump about the Killjoys universe because otherwise this is going to sound balls to the walls insane and I have not reached that level yet.

Basically its ye olde traditional xpunk (desertpunk in this case, with some cyberpunk/scrappunk elements) with the Big Controlling Corporation (Better Living Industries, often abbreviated to BLI or BLI/ND) vs The Scrappy Rebels (The Killjoys). Also the city that BLI controls is called Battery City (or Bat/Batt City for short), and the desert is split into Zones, with the zone number getting higher the further you go out. it is widely accepted fannon (as far as I can tell) that past Zone 6 there's just a radioactive wasteland. that isn't really important I just wanted to mention it. General rule is that the lower the zone number, the closer you are to Bat City but the further you are from radiation. (brief infodump I say I haven't even gotten to the part that I need to describe why I made all these aesthetic choices. lets move on to that) Okay so now that we've got like, basic setting out of the way, Killjoys are not like, a group. they're more like a shared ideology between the people who live in the desert, who range from punk ass kids who just want to fuck shit up to people who are genuinely trying to take down BLI. Like the comic explicitly touches on this. The one shared trait between all Killjoys is that they all wear customized, personalized masks (although the definition of what a mask is is pretty fast and loose. the main thing is that it has to cover a part of your face). This is because of the belief that once you die, the Phenix Witch takes your soul to the afterlife, and she needs the masks in order to find your soul. if you see me mentioning mailboxes, those are basically where Killjoys put the masks of their dead friends so the Witch can find them. it is also important to note that not all Killjoys believe in the Witch, but all of them wear masks. Masks are basically religious wear that got co-opted into being a symbol for a movement, except that the Witch actually like 100% exists and is a known entity. Also like, the vast majority of Killjoys are people who escaped from batter city, but there are also Killjoys who were born in the desert.

Okay with that infodump out of the way, lets talk about the actual AU. so the Young Justice crew are, well, a crew. a group of Killjoys who stick together and fight together. Tim, Kon, and Bart escaped from Bat City together. Also Kon is a robot it's not important really I just want to continue having Kon be the result of a highly unethical experiment because I think that's quite sexy of him, and robots (Droids) are much more prominent in this setting. He's a prototype of a droid used to infiltrate Killjoys except he said 'actually this is more fun, these people treat me like a person so I am going to not be used to kill them kthxbai' and bailed. I wasn't really sure how I exactly wanted the three of them escape, all I know is that they did it together and at some point Kon used his droid credentials to bluff his way past a checkpoint.

Secret is a ghost. I honestly didn't have a lot for her because this was made-up by me at around 3am when I was having unhinged hours but I wanted her to basically be a soul that was still attached to her mask but straight-up refused to move on. Because she's special like that. She meets Cassie at some point before the place where I started my story, because Cassie comes from the desert and not from Bat City. Also she still has her lasso except instead of it being an artifact that she stole it's now some BLI tech that she stole.

And then the brainwave ended and I was left sobbing because I wanted to know how I was going to get Cissie, Anita, and Slobo into this universe and my brain said no <3

ok so... serious question that I have a distinct feeling I have asked before and forgotten the answer to...

if I were to buckle down and get serious about writing one of my Actual Real Books in the coming months, which one should I work on? All three are some variety of YA and mostly coming-of-age-y

The post-post apocalyptic scrappunk aesthetic “road trip” involving a few small-town teens from Missouri who wind up on a goose chase for a working power plant lead by a girl who basically kidnapped herself

The YA supernatural romance about a theater kid who gets possessed by the ghost of her prohibition era great great auntie and winds up stuck in a weird love triangle cuz the ghost’s lover also possesses someone. Also her best friends are a bookworm and a youtuber who wants to be the next ghost adventures

The story about how internet friends are indeed real friends and we need to look out for each other but not everyone bes who they are on the internet, as after a girl goes to funeral of a friend who committed suicide before she could ever meet her, she decides to road trip to meet all her other internet friends

This is a serious question. I think. I’m gonna try, at least?

I can provide more details if anyone wants them? :O
