but what if she was a superhero-ish guy. what then. what would you do then
#fun fact! this was gonna be a magical girl squiddo#but then i got really caught up in the whole “dirty scruffy vigilante with lots of explosives who annoys all the fancy hero people”#aesthetic. but i also have some stuff#like the bows and the wing cloak that read as magical girl#and im gonna use pastel colors and cheerful colors to make it seem like she WAS initially#a really traditional happy-go-lucky magical girl who over time had to do things her own way instead of just flashy magical blasts#and so she started making bombs and became more of an underground hero of the people who don’t have a voice#but she still has that bright optimistic magical girl outlook where she knows that the *magic of Friendship* actually has power#and she’s not optimistic in spite of a darker setting#she’s optimistic *because* of it. she’s a magical girl of the alleys and the dirty towns and the messy fights#in short she’s a magical girl who’s more hands-on#more optimistic in a realistic way#like a person who might dress up as a magical girl to save the day but doesn’t have magical powers but saves the day anyway#and she HAS magical powers#mind you#but they’re chaotic and messy and she can’t control them for the sort of picture-perfect showiness of most superhero’s powers#so she learns to use them to AID her fighting#not the sole weapon she uses#and as a result she’d be much stronger than most if her powers were blocked#because she knows how to fight on her own merits too#tl;dr squiddo is a magical girl who will beat you up with no hesitation and also has bombs. lots of bombs.#squiddo#daily squiddo#the real squiddo#mcyt#uhhh#superhero au#magical girl au#????
