Got the Amnesty gang on the mind

First attempt at Arlo Thacker

[duck-in-a-spaceship]

I think Thacker deserves more love tbh. I know he replaced our darling criminal beloved Ned but this man is a BITCH in such an enjoyable way. He loves nature, hates people, took off into the wilderness to go get possessed by one half of the gay planet, and puts pepperoni in his trail mix. Kiiiiind of iconic lets be real.

My personal grandpa, founder and owner of KepExp, Arlo Thacker!!

[mooselybased]

Technically our final Adventure Zone Amnesty player character, here's a moveset for none other than Arlo Thacker!

Thacker, relatively average speed and damage, is a bit slow to get started, but if you're able to get the necessary momentum, he can be a real beast on the battlefield.

Thacker's side special has him rush forward a distance, dropping a trail of his awful pretzel, pepperoni, and peanut butter candy gorp behind him. Foes who move across it will take damage, kinda like caltrops except made of gross trail mix.

Thacker's up special has him toss his spiked walking stick in whatever direction you aim. It does good damage, and if it makes contact with a foe, item, or part of the stage, he uses the attached rope to pull himself towards it.

Thacker's neutral special has him pull out his ancient laptop to take some notes on his foes. Anyone in line of sight when this move is used temporarily deals less damage and knockback to Thacker. This move can't be used again until the timer runs out, whether or not it worked.

Thacker's down special has him connect to the Quell in a Psychic Event. For a short bit while the button is held, he cannot be knocked back and any damage Thacker takes in this state will power up his very next attack.

Arlo Thacker's finale has the Quell take complete control, turning him once again into his fully feral state. While possessed by the Quell, Thacker is much faster and stronger, though his moveset is much more limited.

a juno devine character study (titled after the state flower of west virginia)! post ep 28 spoilers, and i do believe her and duck actually knew each other when they were younger than when i have them meet in this fic but shh it's fine, ~560 words

Juno Devine. She had always felt like her name created shoes a bit bigger than she had ever been able to fill. The king of the Roman gods’ wife and then just the word divine (albeit spelled differently) didn’t exactly conjure the image of a small town forest ranger. That was okay with her though, it was more a recurring thought in the back of her head than a true worry. Her life had really turned out perfectly. Who knows where she would have ended up if not for Arlo Thacker’s intervention with seven-year-old Juno on the day of that fateful field trip? At any other job, she would have been perfectly competent, but never really satisfied, always glancing out the window and longing to be back outside. Luckily, though, the Monongahela National Forest became her home, almost even more so than her apartment in Kepler.

The best part of being a forest ranger was her colleagues. As a child, Juno never really connected with any of her classmates. After Thacker talked to them, they eased up some on the bullying, but she was still very lonely. Now, as an adult, she could have conversations on all the topics related to nature she was most passionate about and be met with the same level of enthusiasm from her fellow rangers. Duck Newton was the one that Juno found herself connecting with most. They started hanging out outside of work and became friends. It was difficult for Juno to be in silence with others, since it felt like all the times she had been ignored and invisible in the past, but this anxiety seemed to naturally dissolve with Duck. One warm summer night, when it was dark enough to see the stars, without a cloud in the sky, they met up by the river just as they had planned. Duck brought a blanket and some popcorn, Juno brought a couple hard lemonades, and they just enjoyed each other’s company and the perfect view of the stars without a word.

So, when things started getting strange in Kepler (or more so than usual), Juno trusted Duck to help handle it. Sure, she wished she had a better idea of what was going on (and something was obviously being covered up since Duck couldn’t lie for shit), and she didn’t really know Duck’s two weird friends, but if he thought they were good enough to work with then that must be the case. When things really went south, the FBI came to town, and all of a sudden Arlo Thacker showed back up on her doorstep asking her to basically commit a federal crime, what was she going to say? No? That absolutely wasn’t an option at the behest of the man who had set her life on the right track, and really, at this point, she would have joined the plan herself soon anyway. As a forest ranger, she worked for the government, but Juno’s first allegiance had always been to the flora and fauna and the land itself. The FBI coming in and closing off parts of the forest to set up their goddamn surveillance base camp wasn’t gonna stand. Not in her town. So she gave Thacker, now an old man, but still with the same twinkle in his eye as always, a big hug and promised to do everything she could. The fight was on.
