I was smiling ear-to-ear when I first saw this, thank you!!

#i believe piri and ilaw would get along more than one would think#guy whos often called dad on accident + youngster with no father figure#truly the dynamic of all time

I actually kinda disagree, not that I don't think that their dynamic wouldn't be Funny but I view things kinda differently. For the most part I've depicted Piripu as being rather chill about not having a father figure. The two people in his life who *are* his parental figures these days are more like his adult friends who he sees occasionally and gets advice from (quality variable). That being said, it still would still be fun to envision Ilaw attempting to give Piripu (as the Spearmaster) advice, not because I think they'd get along (maybe initially they might), but because I think they'd have beef. Not serious beef, but beef nonetheless.

To elaborate: IIRC you said something about Ilaw not being super jazzed about Sky Kids These Days, and while the Spearmaster is not a kid, he's still a part of the "new generation". Therefore, I think Ilaw and Piripu would have "old man meets young adult hooligan" beef. For more information please consult the drawing below:

(If I got anything wrong feel free to correct me)

Also on the topic of character dynamics: While she wasn't included in this post I feel like Bata and Mufotsuki would get along. Children of the Wasteland unite 🤝

(PS. It's so funny to think that everything Piripu does is technically "fatherless behavior")

was about time i drew these two... i love their shenanigans 🫶

piripu + mufotsuki belong to @mufos-photo-album !

Stretches with Piripu

Been thinking about this post again, and I decided to throw together a video, to help people understand why I find it so funny. To recap, Mufo has a "voice" like any other skykid, but Piripu is about as close as one can get to sounding like an instrument.

He is capable of speaking the same language as everyone else, but he does so in cursive (verbally, somehow).

you guys.... what tha fuck

Mufo sends a cake: "Please be sure to share!"

When you ask children to do something, they will probably not do that thing

A little while ago someone asked about Mufo arm lore, and I also realized I neglected to draw the scar in a recent post of mine. To rectify this, you now get a little bit of lore. A crump (crumb) of lore.

(Appearance of the scar is subject to change later once I like. Calculate more deeply how it formed in the first place)

(Transcript included at the bottom of post.)

The Spirits, unlike other creatures of light, had their light located on the inside of their bodies.

This feature had its advantages and disadvantages. Their body served as a barrier to environmental threats, but it also served as a barrier to each other. In other words, Spirits couldn't recharge their light by being near each other the same way other light creatures can.

For a long time, the Spirits overcame this drawback by using portable light sources like torches and candles (hence their symbolic use as currency). The Spirits later learned how to move their light outside of their body, forming the basis of magic.

So that new emote they added is really good

If you were curious what the black box was hiding + a fun interaction I had while getting the picture for this post

Bookworm Mufotsuki real....

Sum Mufo lore below the cut vvv

My character playlist page for Mufo is coming along, though one big roadblock is that it needs background art! I've talked before about how I wanted to draw Mufo's home base someday, and I think just drawing a small portion of it for some background art would be a nice place to start. One thing I struggle with when it comes to backgrounds though, especially character-based ones, is making them feel lived in. Backgrounds I've drawn in the past often felt too clean to me, like no one is living there! Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to slap down some sketches to flesh out Mufo's room, but I can write about it to reference later, so here we go!

Mufo lives in the Vault of Knowledge, more specifically inside what can be thought of as a "storage closet". These storage areas resemble larger areas of the Vault, but are mainly used to store menial things like cleaning supplies, spells, and personal belongings. Mufo has part of a storage closet all to herself.

Her room is basically like an indoor tent. The "walls" are actually just pieces of cloth. It's convenient since she can enter and exit her room at any location, though at this point she has dedicated "door spots" — specific spots she decides she is allowed to walk through. Anything that isn't a door spot she treats as if its a regular wall and thus not normally walk through.

In terms of solid furniture (like, heavy stuff), Mufo might not have much. At the moment I definitely imagine she has a bed and maybe one or two bookshelves. Maybe she has a chair in there, to go with the shelves? Other furniture she has is mainly pillows and blankets, strewn across the floor so that many places in her room are comfy.

Currently debating if Mufo decorates at all. Like the stuff I listed before is mainly functional in nature. Maybe younger Mufo wouldn't have cared about decorating, but present day Mufo does since she has finally seen the outside world for herself and is insanely inspired. With that in mind, I gotta think about what Mufo decorates with. I definitely think if you showed Mufo some fairy lights it'd be OVER for her.

This might be one for the decoration category, but maybe Mufo keeps souvenirs from her journeys if she can pocket them.

Her room almost definitely has some memory lanterns and books lying around. This would have been especially true when she was younger (like the drawing above!), where such things were her only form of solitary entertainment. As she got older, she became better about returning memory lanterns and books to their rightful place in the Vault (though not all the time, hehe).

At the moment I don't imagine Piripu has a home, but if he were to crash anywhere, it'd be at Mufo's place. He probably does it often. With that in mind, Mufo's belongings probably got pushed around with Piripu becoming a pseudo-resident. Fortunately, he is a boy of few belongings... For now?

What if: Mufo meets the Spearmaster / Piripu meets the Swordmaster
