#silver gryphon t-shirt

[kvalenagle]

I was searching the upstairs closet for a lightbulb and I came across what is basically the "lgbtqia+ Millennial who likes to read starter pack." Gotta say, I didn't realize I still had any Silver Gryphon t-shirts left. Takes me back to being a teenager =]

"Where's my other grandma?"

Gabe asks Crocodile this one day when they're reading together in the drawing room. He really shouldn't have been surprised. That particular query was bound to come up at some point, especially since Urpi's been dropping by. If this were a few months ago, he might have shut down or snapped at the boy, but Crocodile is not keen on repeating that mistake. But he also can't lie to his son.

"She passed away, hayati. She's been gone for a long time"

"Oh," he's quiet for a bit as he absent-mindedly tugs at the carpet for a minute "Did someone make a clone of her?"

Croc has to take a deep breath at that. It's not Gabe's fault in the slightest, but they really need to sit him and Gryphon down at some point and explain that regardless of what the Vegapunks cook up in their labs, cloning is not an undo-button for death. There are things and people that truly are lost for good. But that's besides the point.

"I highly doubt it. She died a long time ago and wasn't someone the World Government would have taken notice of ("at least not for that reason" is what's left unsaid)."

"Oh... what was she like?"

Hell if he knows. His mother perished before he had left the haze of infancy, and in a way that was slow and torturous. Of course he doesn't tell Gabe the last part but he's honest once more about being just as in the dark on the details as his son. Well, he did know some things.

"She had hair like mine. And there were patches of her skin that glimmered like jewels. I think they might have been fishman scales"

"Like ours?"

Ours? What could he possibly mean by that?

When he asks, Gabe climbs up on the couch and lifts his shirt sleeve so Crocodile can see the tiniest little patch of lime-green scales growing right under the transparent tube of green blood.

"You have some on your neck next to your bumpies. I saw them when you were carrying me to bed last night. We match! 😊"

(Gabe calls scutes 'bumpies' and I just find that really cute)

“… What… happened to her, Baba?” It’s asked cautiously. There’s something in Gabe that’s always felt uneasy and upset when thinking about this branch of the family tree. He can’t place it, but it all just feels sad.

And maybe that’s why he’s asking about it.

What can Crocodile even say? How can he even explain?

“Hayati… you know how Tayta loves me? How he’s there for me if I’m hurt or sick, or even if it’s just to be there?” Okay, strong start. Let’s hope the comparison he’s setting up actually works.

“Yeah?” Gabe says expectantly, star-bright eyes wide.

“My father- not Pops, just to be clear- wasn’t like that for my mother. He was… not nice to her. Did bad things to her. And to me. He… didn’t love either of us.” He spoke carefully, riding the line between not wanting to sugarcoat and not wanting to distress.

“When I was four, she got very sick… and he wouldn’t help her. One night I feel asleep next to her, and when I woke up… she didn’t. I never even knew her name.” He remembers the rattle of her breath, how her scales and scutes slowly but surely lost their iridescent luster, how her hair had thinned. How still she was… too still…

Gabe looked at him as if what he was saying was the most alien thing he’d ever heard. Crocodile lays a kiss on his brow, and holds him close.

The silence is heavy, but Gabe’s tears haven’t come just yet. He can tell from the quiet that his son is putting pieces of some bigger picture together.

“…Is that why Vang covers his eyes?” The boy asks, resting his head on his father’s shoulder. He sounds… sad.

“It’s part of it…” Crocodile sighs, carding his fingers through starlight silver hair. “Though not all.”

There’s more to Rocks D Xebec than being a horrible partner and father. Much, much more. But for tonight, that’s enough to chew on.

To divert the conversation, he looks over the little scutes and scales that had cropped up on Gabe’s arm. They were new. Very new. Possibly the cause for the irritable streak the child had been having these last few days. And the voracious appetite.

They are very uniform and healthy, like little plates of bright green armor. Crocodile remembers how his had come in a little wonky, with plenty of uneven edges. He takes it as a comfort, knowing Gabe was far healthier and happier than he had been at his age.

Come to think of it, Crocodile’s had only come in when he was sixteen. He imagines early life malnourishment and eventually running out of puberty blockers had something to do with it.

“They itch when they come in, don’t they?” He asks, scarred lips turned into a lopsided smile.

“They feel like feathers, ‘cept more.”

(i don't know what to ask as advice so i'll just send a rp starter-)

*a light blue gryphon with a dark blue scarf and purple glasses was flying near the castle and someone probably noticed It*

Harlem was sparing with Salem, and a pair of different gargoyles, a night sky indigo colored female, standing at six foot eight, with a strong build, blood red wing webbing, a long, wild mane of red-black hair, a plume of long black barbed scales on the tip of her tail, one hook and three ribs on her wings, a pair of huge curved horns and a set of tusks sticking up from her lower jaw, wearing a deep purple-red leather jacket, a dark red-gray tank-top and a blue-black skirt, with a high-tech metal bracer around her left arm, the screen glowing, and a yellow-gold colored male, standing at five foot eight, with gold feathered wings, wavy, shoulder-length orange-gold hair, and a forked tail tip, wearing a red and white varsity jacket, a white t-shirt, and maroon pants. A different gargoyle, slender, standing at five foot six, with pale lavender-blue-silver skin, silver feathered wings, two horn-like structures over their eyes, an arrow-head tail tip, and long, straight lavender-silver hair, held back in a low ponytail, held by a pale blue ribbon, wearing a loose, pale lavender-blue dress and a thin silver belt, watched from the side. They were the one to spot the gryphon.

"We have company." They mutter.

The female looks over, flagging the spar to a stop.

"What was that Lunar?"

"We have company." They point at the gryphon.

"So we do." The male mentioned.

I have made up what casual clothes that the Lombardi Siblings wear in Star Fox Next Gen starring Marcus McCloud.

First, I'll go over their appearances again.

Violett Lombardi the older sister is a tall, slender & well-endowed teenage pheasant-domestic shorthair gryphon girl with vivid violet(color code: 9f00ff) feather-fur. She's violet due to the rare color combination of her father Falco Lombardi's blue feathers & mother Katt Monroe-Lombardi's pink fur. Red patches around her eyes. Hot pink eyelids. White shoulder-length layered hair that strongly resembles the iconic punk rock layered hairstyle of singer Hayley Williams of Paramore, & the two front hair bangs are dyed into two colors: left side-hot pink & right side-blue. Her eyes are green. Violett has a head of an avian with feline ears. Her mouth is a "fang-like" yellow beak. Feathery hands like her dad's. Feathery-furry feet are yellow talons with five toes(I headcanon that being the case of Falco & all the other anthropomorphic avians in Star Fox) & blue cat paw pads underneath. & Violett's cat tail has bird feathers at the bottom.

& Ace Lombardi the younger brother is a pheasant-domestic shorthair type reverse gryphon preteen boy who's skinny & slightly built, & has a head of a feline. He's shorter than his sister. He has bicolor feather-fur that is hot pink & blue. Spikey hot pink "feather-furdo" on head. Green eyes. Red eyelids. Black nose. Top-blue & bottom-pink pointy cat-like crest ears(they strongly resemble the ear feathers on the head of an eared pheasant). Ace's ears are bigger than Violett's & their mom's. The exact paw/hands as his mom's. Yellow talon feet with five toes. His feathery avian tail is identical to his dad's except it's blue with hot pink flowing stripes. Blue flame shapes on both his lower legs & arms, which the flames ends at his pink fingers. & A sapphire blue fiery kite-shaped birthmark on his chest. Ace is mostly hot pink with some blue.

Ok, now I'll share the FalKatt duo kids' outfits:

Violett Lombardi:

·Red crop tank top that has a printed white skull with cat ears and bird wings.

·Short, sleeveless black open vest with purple trim (Similar to the black & red vest that Katt wore in the Japanese-exclusive Farewell Beloved Falco manga) & silver metal embellishment on the shoulders.(Like Falco's hot rodders jacket)

·Cropped cargo pants that are in the color space cadet blue(code: 1d2951).

·Black double strapped, leather belt with golden studs & a golden buckle with a round red gem. (Her belt is also like her mom's from the FBF manga)

·Mid-length black punk/gothic rock boots with black laces, low block heels, four black straps with silver buckles, & purple flames.

·Black & red spiral, fingerless gloves with silver stud strap & silver knuckle studs.

·2 Tiny hoop earrings on left ear. Top-yellow gold with amethyst on top & black diamond on bottom. & Bottom-white gold with blue sapphire on top & pink sapphire on bottom. All 4 gemstones are princess cut.

·& Necklace with yellow golden chain & customized name pendant in violet galaxy-patterned letters saying "V!OLETT".

Ace Lombardi:

·Black T-shirt with short sleeves, fiery orange flames, & on the front is the printed blood red word, "HOT*REBEL".

·Bronze chain necklace.

·Black cuffed cargo pants with patterned, yellow double Vs on pocket sides, & a right silver pocket chain.

·Red Nike-style shoes with black laces.

·Platinum strap bracelet with spikes on both wrists.

·& Tiny, yellow gold hoop earring with a carved red-orange flame stone on right ear.

Now you all know how Falco & Katt's daughter & son look! Yay!😆 (If only Nintendo could read this😅)

& In the next generation with Fox & Krystal's son Marcus as the main protagonist, Violett would be 16 & in grade 11/junior year while Ace would be 12 & in grade 7. The siblings attend at a junior-senior high school btw.
