Just thought of the funniest level mod for a hat in time

Disclaimer, if this ends up actually being a thing it'll probably take LOTS of effort and I'll kiss whoever did it because I can't code or make levels for shit

But imagine. You know those mods that have multiple levels? Okay that, but pre disaster subcon.

like we get multiple levels where we get to interact with the people of subcon, the guards, the flower girl, the town folks and even get inside the manor without worrying about a crazy ice monster killing us.

And the levels are just more silly versions of the normal levels we have of subcon.

(Obviously the interpretation of the characters are my versions, but obviously I don't mind seeing how others see things.)

Contractual obligations:

We meet the prince and he greets us right before entering subcon. He notices that we're a foreigner and that we're looking for a specific object. He says he hasn't personally seen 'em, and that he'll help you find them by checking places we can't go in, but days to ask people around to see if they did see the time piece.

And it turns into us doing various (and really easy) tasks for the townsfolk, while also knowing some lore which is just them talking about what's happening rn and their personal lives.

in the end, we get this kid going to us saying he found this hourglass shining and that he noticed we were looking for it, so he gives it to us.

The subcon well: apparently there's some problems in the well, it's clogged and everyone is annoyed about it.

as we go around, the prince jumpscares us by popping out from somewhere (probably an ally or something like that.) doing the iconic snatcher "WHY HELLOOOOO THERE! you didn't forget about me, did ya?"

Before he says anything, he apologies for scaring us. He says how it was really just a prank he found funny. He giggles about it.

But either way, he needs our help.

He noticed how we were really helpful with his subjects and he thought he could ask us a favor to help him too.

he rambles about how he would have made us sign a contract but since we're a kid, he has to stick with shakes of hands and pinky promises.

Then he tells us how the well, or any of them in subcon, are clogged and it's bothering everyone. Especially Vanessa because the well is connected to the pipes in the manor and now they're clogged too (and Vanessa can't take a hot shower and she hates it.)

So he's asking us to help unclog the well (and the pipes) so everyone is happy.

"Normally" he would have asked an actual plumber, not a random kid who is ALSO a foreigner, but for some reason none of them are available and there's no way he's touching the well any time soon. It's too dirty in his opinion.

anyway, the level is similar to the original one from this point, we get the time piece from unclogging everything.

Mail delivery service:

Once again with the prince scaring us to death at random when we start exploring the place.

he apologies again, but not for the scare but because he's asking us again to do stuff. Yes he laughs again at hat kid getting scared.

This time he complains about how literally no one is available and that he bets he soon will have to ask you for your help again.

but this time he has a good offer.

We have to deliver some letters and packages (but this time it's dlc style where we have to deliver under a timer.)

He says that if we do him this little favor he'll give us a time piece he found in a random bush around the manor.

Once we're done, he thanks us, saying how he really needs to hire a new mail man because the last one has gone *poof* for some reason he doesn't know either.

Toilet of doom:

the public bathroom is acting funny. we notice because there's a line with way too many people that passes through the entire town.

once we reach the end (or start.) of the line we see two guards.

When we go talk to them they sound worried, saying how they've been waiting for the guy in there to come out so the others can use the bathroom but guy has been there for HOURS.

They tried asking both the queen and prince but both said they refuse to go near that bathroom, they think it's too filthy (and smelly. Especially smelly.)

when we go and reach for the bathroom door to open it, you struggle and it doesn't open. So we beat it up with the umbrella until it opens and a boss fight happens.

it's pretty much the toilet of doom boss fight but we see everyone around us occasional complaining about the smell.

Queen Vanessa's manor:

Vanessa centric level! We don't see the prince in here.

We basically get asked by two guards to go to the manor because the queen wants to see us, and so we do.

We get all vibes of the queen being some cold hearted dictator and when we enter we head the famous "WHO GOES THERE?!" From Vanessa.

We don't run (because we can't) and when we see Vanessa come in we see the pre monster Vanessa, who immediately recognizes us and goes "oh hello there!!!!! You're the foreigner my dear prince told me about!!!! The one who helped my subject and was kind enough to.....unclog that disgusting bathroom..."

In general, we see Vanessa as some really sweet and kind woman. She even offers us cookies (that aren't poisoned!)

We talk to her for a bit and then she tells us that she asked us to come over because she needed help.

the entire manor is a MESS and normally she would just ask her maids to help her clean, but they would take too long because the manor is big, and she needs the manor squeaky clean because the prince is coming back soon from his studies abroad. (Which is why we don't see him on this level)

So the task is to once again go around the manor, but instead of hiding from Vanessa, we clean around. (There can be maids around, like 2-3. Definitely looking the same or maybe the only difference is the hair.)

Anyway, just like in the og, we can snoop around Vanessa's diary and we get the time piece in the attic.

The final boss fight/your contract has expired: basically right after the whole misunderstanding mess.

We see everyone frozen and the manor doors open.

Stealth little game as we roam around with Vanessa (very angrily) looking for people and crying about the prince cheating on her.

We have the choice to go to the cellar and see the prince freezing there, we can't talk to him but if we're quiet enough we can hear him sniffle and quietly cry.

Anyway!! Once we reach the second floor we see Vanessa and there's this whole chasing part until we go out of the manor. From there we start getting chased AGAIN until we just run away completely from subcon.

The storybook from the time rift will probably be town folks centric during the whole disaster, we see the flower girl and any character we helped in the first level and how they ended up (likely dead and frozen.)

[tiramegtoons]

Since you asked for it @drowninnoodles

here it is!

First thing i start with is the head since it is the leading part of his noodle movement. The rest of the body comes after, just like a worm on a string :D As far as the curves go he gets bendier further down while his torso stays mostly in place to differentiate where the torso ends. I feel this gives him a slightly more "human" look. One that reminds me of how-despite his cryptic appearance and villainous standing- that he likes to get down and act casual. About his BEAuuutiful hair- canon is the way to go. In a way im glad he got his own 3d model in the game, but i dont mind his 2d beta looks either. I thought to myself why not both? and SHAZAM

my favorite part of making snatcher is his facial expressions and

boy

those eyes

they'll getcha

and then comes the smile and youre dead(perhaps even literally) Now comes the noodly arms. Those welcoming arms inviting you into the deadly embrace of death/j

I like to make his hands bigger, about the size of his face. From his hand his arm gets narrower and evenly spaced all the way going up into where his shoulders would be(if he had any lol). About the arm length id say a good 3/4 of his body, depending how long he wants to be that day hfdgbshgshg

and

TADA

the noodliest noodle in subcon :sparkles: Thanks for asking!!

Smithy Gang Headcanons

Hi, friends! I'm extremely grateful for the positive feedback on The Forging, and definitely want to write more SMRPG stuff; I've just been working on other priorities lately. However, my brain has been busy churning stuff over, even if I haven't had the time to sit down and write a story yet.

So I wanted to jot down some of my headcanons for the Smithy gang, specifically the forging order of the main members. I thought of a sequence where Smithy created each as a response to shortcomings he saw in their predecessors. This timeline will serve as a framework from which I can write future stories.

I don't think there's anything here that goes directly against canon, but I'm not as much of an SMRPG expert as I am with some other games lol, so feel free to tell me if there's some kind of Japanese-only line that contradicts me. Also let me know your own ideas if you want!! I am new to being a proper fan in this fandom :P

First, some general notes: I don't really have a good definition for who Smithy himself is, where he came from, or what his world is like, and I don't know if I ever will, since I find some degree of ominous mystery to be more interesting. Also - while I've seen the Gang described as "robots", while that may be true in a sense, I think of them more as "constructs" - I don't think they're powered by wires or circuitry or anything like that, but rather arcane magic. They are not powered by AI, even in the sense that a more nuanced and self-aware robo-sentience might be (see examples in the Marioverse: TEC, Beep-0, JEANIE), but a more traditional type of consciousness/soul that Smithy has learned to work with, as if it were yet another material. (This isn't abnormal for the Mario world, where we already have living bullets and bombs and the like- and in an ironic twist, also makes them somewhat similar to Geno, who is a consciousness inhabiting a form that would not produce sentience or mobility on its own.)

This isn't really a fic, although it's long enough to be one, lol. I hope you enjoy!

First there was Exor; but Smithy did not create him. In fact, Exor was Smithy's beloved blade, the reason for his obsession with living weapons in the first place. But Exor is a being even more ancient than Smithy, who just happened to bond with him in his lifetime. The sword can grow to a massive size, and is never truly destroyed, but will reappear and reforge itself throughout history. The otherworldly creature that attached itself to Exor and brought it to life has been known to some as the Neosquid.

Now Smithy, in a sense, was his own first experiment - gradually replacing his organic parts with malleable metal, not only to extend his own life, but to make himself more suited for a variety of purposes. This was a process that never really had an end, as he was always experimenting, creating new heads for himself. But when he was satisfied enough with his initial efforts, Smithy sought to create life in his own image, and in the image of his beloved Exor. Among other adventures, he spent time in Subcon, the Land of Dreams, studying the enigmatic nature of consciousness - at least enough so that he could harness some of its unfathomable magic for his own ends.

Boomer was the first of Smithy's prized creations (yes, because I like the idea of the one called "Boomer" being the oldest). Originally created to provide a sort of companionship to Smithy in the form of strategic advisory and being a bodyguard- and also to provide friendship, although Smithy would never admit it. Over time, Smithy became distracted with his newer and flashier works, and grew tired of Boomer's overly serious and staid nature. Though their relationship has grown distant, Boomer's fondness, gratitude and loyalty for his creator has never faltered, and he will defend Smithy to the very last of his existence. In turn, Smithy has never put forth plans for machine-made Boomers- the younger creations speculate it's because he's too outdated a model for this to be worth it, but perhaps it's because even now, Smithy considers him irreplaceable.

Bowyer was the next-forged. Smithy sought to make a commander who represented a long-range weapon, to contrast with Boomer's katana; and also a more creative and inventive personality to offset Boomer's traditionalist and unadventurous nature. When Bowyer was born, Smithy found that he had accidentally gone way too far (in his opinion) in this new direction, leading to a creation that was so erratic he refused to even speak like those around him. Smithy found Bowyer a hard-to-control troublemaker who would rarely listen to him (or Boomer) and seemed unhappy most of the time, not fitting in with the world he had been forged into. Bowyer would also leave arrows all over the place, sticking out of random things in the weapon world - this is when Smithy had the bright idea to create arrows with consciousness, so they could return to their leader on their own. To Smithy and Boomer's surprise, Bowyer became a lot more joyful and content when he met his little Aeros, and they all became an inseparable entourage.

Smithy became creatively blocked while trying to think of his next big project, largely due to the stress of Bowyer's early behavior. Instead, he came up with a number of smaller-time minions, some of which were the Shymores, based on the Shy Guys he had observed during the time he had spent in Subcon. The Shymores were a playfully destructive group, and after seeing Bowyer's happiness with the Aeros, Smithy decided to forge a creation who was destined to be a leader from the outset; and also one with a mischievous streak, yet toned down from Bowyer. And so he made Claymorton, who later called himself Mack. He was a beloved leader to his rowdy group, but perhaps too social- he ended up neglecting his own training, preferring to play and mess around with his friends, and thus never became very strong on his own.

By now, Smithy was growing frustrated by the failures and flaws that he saw in the personalities of his creations. He decided to think extra hard about the character of his next project: this would be someone who could work completely independently - brilliant, shrewd, capable of powerful magic spells and illusions. Yet Smithy made sure to write in an unflinching loyalty to himself into the new creation's code, so to speak. And lo: at first Speardovich seemed everything Smithy could have ever wanted. Proud, powerful, but knowing his place. He needed no minions, and thus was never distracted, as he could split his own form and consciousness so that one being could do the work of many. He might appear to be older than Bowyer and Claymorton, but in fact he is technically not; he was just created from the outset to be more mature, with the moustache to prove it. And yet, over time, the cracks in this personality began to show. Speary was pompous and did not get along with the other creations when necessity called them to work together. And his respect for Smithy manifested as simpering; a begging for praise and attention which the smith found increasingly unbearable. He was always coming up with unasked-for ideas and input, such as: perhaps all the machine-made units could take the name of a spear in a different language, and "speardovich" could be their overall model name, and that he quite liked Yaridovich for himself personally, and perhaps it would be alright if- but no, Smithy would have none of it. While at first he had beamed with joy at this newest creation, he soon enough kept him at arm's length (or spear's length?) as well.

Finally, Smithy hit upon a brilliant idea - his next creation would be a group of (mostly) equals who could depend on each other without a major power imbalance, keep each other entertained, and stay out of his hair. The Axem Rangers were born, all bearing an energetic and youthful personality which they are still yet to grow out of. They were given control of the Blade, and sent to scout various worlds. They often picked up slang and brought home entertainment from the places they visited, and developed a countless number of inside jokes. The other commanders, and especially Smithy himself and Boomer, found it hard to keep up with them. However, Smithy considered their existence a big success, and remained very proud of them- although this might be due to the fact that he ended up not having to interact with them that much.

...So, that's what I have for now! I'm not sure where all of the Factory enemies fit into this; based on their descriptions, I think Clerk/Manager/Director aren't creations of Smithy, but are the same species as him and recruited from his homeworld. Same with the Chief, aside from possibly not being the same species. Smaller minions like jabits and the hammers would be produced at various points that aren't super relevant to this larger narrative. Count Down was probably made as a fun side-project when Smithy wanted to take a break from weapons per se, and see what he could do with an object like a clock. Gunyolk was confirmed to be created by the Chief. And Cloaker and Domino are weird outliers; I want to say they would be among some of the first things Smithy made, or the latest, in some kind of more abstract and experimental period.

Again - let me know your thoughts and ideas!

YAAAAAAAAY

Snatcher x Reader

You kept shivering, he knew that. He just didn’t know how to bring it up. On one hand, he loves and adores you, and would do anything to make you comfortable- but on the other hand, what if he comes off as too soft? He has to be the all-powerful ruler of Subcon Forest, but he still has to protect his lover from the elements! He settles on pretending he’s grumpy.

“Oh, you’re insufferable! You’re lucky I can make warmth from thin air, or else you’d be doomed. I expect thanks.”

You could hardly thank him with chattering teeth, melting into his arms. They felt so warm, and soft, and strong… oh, he was the best. Even if he acted like he wanted to leave you on top of his tree.

“Oh, just get comfortable and fall asleep, why don’t you. It’s not like I have places to be.”

“Where, other trees?”

“I’ll have you know I appreciate every part of my kingdom!”

“Mmm…”

“Don’t you hum at me.”

He kept arguing with you, but you saw him crack a smile when you looked up at him. He shoved your head back down- he clearly didn’t want you to see that. But he still loves you, no matter how “infuriated” you make him.

HEHEHEHHEHEHE YAAAAAAAY

[britishsass]

Hello, LGBTQ+ community. Theatre Gay is here to be... well, theatrical and of some unknown flavor of not-straight.

Housekeeping! Big thanks to @legallymean for helping me with his backstory, and an equally large thanks to @thenotorioushmk for all the kindness about this entire au, since we've been going wild every single time we get a new pic. Can't wait for when I can finally post some of the writing-- just need to find the right time...

[Previous pictures: Bandit | Hatter | Spooky Kid | Kid Squad | DJ Grooves]

While Maestro, otherwise known as "Al" by his friends and rival, is better known for his musical pro-shoots at Cooking Cat Studios, he's also the co-host of Chopping Board, a fun little series he and Cooking Cat have been making for years where they try making terrible recipes and drag their co-workers (Stationmaster and Goofy Mafia mostly) into testing it whenever they can't stand to taste it themselves. He's had a taste of first place, once, but he seems to be content with second... most of the time.

As kids, he and the rest of his team used to live in Subcon, and they were still relatively close to each other then, living in a town nearby the one that Princess Mu used to frequent. Al was frequently sent over the hills to sell his family's pasta, and since he was a bit older than the kids there, he tended to bully them a bit. He lived to regret that, with the burn scars to prove it, and though he personally isn't ashamed of his scars, he is self-conscious about how they make others feel, and only sheds his mask and glove on rare occasions.

Out of the two directors at Cooking Cat Studios, he's the more approachable, especially if you ask his cast. Through all these years and movies/musicals, they've always had his back, and he trusts them with everything he can. After all this time in second place, though, it's hard to imagine that he'd be happy with another silver award. Maybe that gold a few years back wasn't just a fluke...

[rook-specter]

time for another AU idea!

Of Tides and Dreams

It takes place in the Subconscapes, where the people who were frozen in time reside. the Subconscapes are. practically fantasy backrooms and the Subcon Sadnesses are the entities. but there's also Figments, based on people who aren't frozen in time.

It stars Nille, Yvon (an OC), Euphrasie, one of the frozen Housemaidens (idk which one yet), and a Figment named Hellion (based on Bonnie)

Figments:

Cheerful - the Siffrin Figment. looks like Siffrin but his mouth is stitched to always be a smile. He's an absolute jokester and they sometimes speak in grayscale GIFs Wilting - the Mirabelle Figment. her face is covered with vines, except for her left eye. a carnivorous plant is visible above her head. She speaks kinda like the Change God but speaks in ⚠️ instead of kaomojis Thread - the Isabeau Figment. he has no face, instead having a large hole instead. one of the nicer and even smarter Figments, but his appearance is very unnerving. Shattered - the Odile Figment. kinda like Isabeau, but instead of a hole, her face is entirely shattered off except for two glowing eyes and glasses. probably the scariest Figment. She's cold and emotionless, and doesn't really talk much. Hellion - the Bonnie Figment. they look just like Bonnie but their bottom half is that of a scorpion, like a scorpion centaur. they're much unlike the other figments, as they act just like Bonnie. The Gentleman - the King Figment. despite being based on the King, he's literally the nicest Figment. he's also a shut-in cuz the people inside the Subconscapes don't really like him

yeah this idea is exciting

[legallymean]

[I’d put the links here but I don’t actually know how to do them. @britishsass is way better at formatting than me ^^; Sorry!]

This is Stationmaster, also sometimes known as Tibbles or Tibbs if you’re close to her. She’s the other director in Cooking Cat studios, the one with all gold awards except for one year, where she got the silver instead. (One of her gold awards is being… “kept for safekeeping” by Bandit.)

In addition to her job as a director, she also keeps the Nyan Metro running- That’s what those colourful rectangles on her belt are: metro passes! It’s hard for the cats to get anywhere on time when she’s constantly using the metro lines to film her movies, though…

Speaking of which, she tends to lean more action-y with her scripts, with plenty of spy and yakuza thrillers in her catalog. This is all well and good until there’s a literal tank of piranhas on the Bluefin line in the middle of rush hour. Just a little bit inconvenient!

She’s happily married or amicably divorced from Cooking Cat, depending on the year. Generally speaking, the Annual Best Movie Award is her first love, so if Cooking Cat decides to help Maestro over her? It’s curtains for their marriage (even though they still love each other anyway).

While she didn’t grow up in Subcon proper, her family was still close enough to receive Queen Mu’s summons… And given this was after Mu had started judging people as Bad Guys for extremely minuscule reasons, her parents told her to run before they burned in the fiery depths of the Judgement Pit. She lived in an orphanage for the rest of her childhood, where she found a newfound love of spy movies, and decided one day that she was going to make it big!

Due to her experience as a hairless cat in an adoption facility, she decided, after much deliberation with her wife, to adopt a few hairless kittens of her own so they wouldn’t have to worry about being less likely to be adopted. The kittens end up coming with her on the cruise, however, they keep ending up in the weirdest places! It’s a good thing her old pal Definitely Not Bandit came aboard with her and is helping her babysit!

As always, textless version under the cut!

Finnegan Snowshoe

(belongs to @potatobugz )

Finnegan Snowshoe is a silly little ice mouse guy (with He/They swag). He can come off as nonchalant or uncaring sometimes, often not taking anything seriously, but he means no harm.. mysterious fella. ever so slightly whimsical. a jokester, even.

They originated from a dream I had once in which he and Snatcher (but as a bird for some reason) met on the arctic cruise and had a bit of Unresolved Romantic Tension. and so I drew them when I woke up and things kinda spiraled from there. I like them… they're silly…:]

He is also Wanted by the Nyakuza and is basically on the run from them because he yoinked a few jewels from The Empress a while ago and. well. y'know. she did not like that. I feel like Finn has a habit of narrowly escaping death through cartoonish means like a Looney Tunes character. In situations where he's in danger he's calm and quick thinking, usually managing to trick his way out trouble (sometimes they also get out of trouble on Complete Accident. why do they keep almost dying,)

He hangs out in subcon forest after the cruise because 1. that is the last place ppl will go looking for him and 2. Snatcher unintentionally came across like he was inviting him to his forest and Finn likes bothering him because it's funny.

there is probably more Finnegan Snowshoe lore i am forgetting tbh but… here is my silly guy. You should vote for Finnegan as president of the United states 👍 mouseboy numero uno!!!!

UPDATE #1 aaaand my hookshot broke... of course it did i seemed to have fallen off some kind of cliff and landed in a pile of leaves also my memory feels kind of hazy, how long have I been down here? my head really hurts UPDATE #2

I crawled through some kind of broken exposed pipe coming out the side of the cliff and its like really dark and smelly in here, like waaaay more smelly then the inside of that old well snatcher made me climb in that one time, at least I found this conveniently placed flashlight on the ground so I can see where I'm going! UPDATE #3 something really isn't right down here... i can hear some kind of hissing in the darkness and I see a pair of bright yellow eyes? ...

[beesfairlyland]

Last night while doing that distract method, I really got distracted like then when I open eyes like in the morning,

I also said , Subcon mind woke me up in void still this thing is not there , what the f is wrong

Hii!💗

Soo you mean you slept while doing the distraction technique? For that may be try in the day time or have some coffee before trying. And the commanding your subconscious mind may you should try to strengthening your intentions! And noo nothing is wrong love it's just you neep to keep doing what resonates with you and Don't doubt okayy!!

I am linking a post by charm about setting intentions!

Hope it helped you!🫶🏻

-love,bee💗✨

[thereaderinsertlady]

snarles here sneaking into your asks to request snatcher x reader for questober 👻🎃 okay so i had a few ideas for this since you said you like prompts and I've had quite a few laying around because I'm too shy to actually get into writing fanfiction myself hope you like them~ if not feel free to ignore any ones you don't like! - reader was either already a ghost or recently passed away and was reborn as a spirit - i had this idea where subcon has this yearly tradition where all the subconites and other spirits of the forest would make masks and dance in front of a big bonfire in the middle of the village - my random silly lore for this is that snatcher originally set this up as a way to celebrate the rebirth of subcon aswell as mourn the loss of everyone who died when the forest froze over (and also to spite vanessa lol) - after being in a relationship with y/n for a while now snatcher decides to invite them for the first time that's as much as i had for ideas but i think that's a pretty good place to add on from also most of this would probably just be fluff but honestly go wild

:0 hello there!! I tried my best to fit everything you put into one fic- I really liked all of the ideas you put down lmao. Anyways, here's the link on ao3, and I hope you enjoy!

Snatcher x Reader - To be a Ghost

Unfortunately for you, you… were dead. 

And have been for a while. 

It took nearly a year to get used to being dead and having your bottom half end with a tail instead of legs, but you found a way to cope via messing with people with your newfound abilities. Making objects float was very easy– a little too easy. Though, trying to paint a floating mask with a floating paint brush? A little difficult, even for you.

“How’s it coming along?” Snatcher said encouragingly, peering over your shoulder.

“I think it’s… somewhat coming along,” you said, tilting your head to look at it from a different angle. “I think. It seems like it’s missing something…”

“Missing something?” He hummed, leaning in close to look at the mask. “Hmm…”

As you floated in front of the mask, trying to coax the ethereal paint into cooperating and not to drip onto the tree-home’s floor, Snatcher's presence was oddly comforting. His encouragement was a balm to your spectral soul, and you were grateful for his support.

Snatcher leaned in more, his translucent eyes studying your creation intently. "Maybe a touch of cerulean blue around the edges? That might give it a bit more depth. Either way, I think you’ll be able to finish before tonight."

Even though it was always night time in Subcon, they were having an event in the middle of the village. Some sort of reconciliation with life and death and to aid with mourning… or something. You weren’t a hundred percent certain what it was for, but this was the first time Snatcher has invited you to join. 

Really, you were just excited to dance and hang out in front of a warm fire. 

Despite the fact that most of your senses have eroded; taste, smell, touch– you could still feel temperature. You couldn’t warm up by yourself, of course, so you had to find other sources.

“...Say, do you miss being alive?” Your voice was soft.

“Do I miss being in a meat sack?” He snorted. “That old thing was a hindrance! I couldn’t do anything that I can do now!” Snatcher floated past you, flopping down into his maroon chair. 

You chuckled at Snatcher's candid response. "Fair point," you mused, a smile tugging at the corners of your spectral lips. "But there must be some things you miss about it, right? Like... the taste of food, or the smell of roses?"

Snatcher tilted his head in thought, considering your question. "Well, I suppose there were some pleasant moments, yes. I… suppose I miss the taste of bacon, but overall, this form suits me just fine. No need to worry about trivial mortal concerns."

You nodded, understanding his perspective. It was fascinating to contemplate the stark differences between your current existence and the memories of your past life. The transition from flesh and blood to this ephemeral state was a journey of its own.

You continued to refine the mask, each stroke of the brush imbuing it with a sense of depth and mystery. It was shaping up to be a truly unique creation… or so you hoped. It might look a little dumb at an angle.

Snatcher watched with curiosity as the mask began to take on a new dimension. "I can see it coming together," he said, a hint of excitement in his voice. His tail flicked against the floor. "You've got quite the talent."

You waved a hand, feeling just a little embarrassed. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m sure your minion’s masks look much better than mine.”

“Well, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!”

“Did you steal that quote from a book somewhere?”

“...Maybe!”

You lightly laughed, continuing to work on painting the mask. You could pick items up in your ethereal hands, but not for long. Even sitting down was an issue… Well, that is, if you weren’t sitting in Snatcher’s lap. You blushed at the thought, recalling a few instances where he allowed you to sleep on him.

“...Say, when does the event start, again?”

“In a few good hours,” he answered. “Why?”

You carefully placed the mask down on the table, finished with it and wanting it to dry. You turned towards Snatcher, trying to put on a non-embarrassed face. “Well… maybe we could… I dunno… read a book together or something?”

“A book?” Snatcher seemed amused. “Is this a ploy to come sit in my lap again?”

You grunted, your tail swishing. “A-And what if it is?”

He took a moment to pretend to think. “Hmm… I suppose it wouldn’t hurt…” After a pause he patted his lap. “Come hither.”

You tried not to look excited. As quickly as a mouse to cheese, you plopped down onto his lap, cuddling up to him. 

Snatcher chuckled, his purple form providing a surprisingly comfortable perch. You could feel a sense of warmth emanating from him, despite the lack of true physicality. It was a small comfort, a reminder that even in this ethereal existence, there were ways to find solace… Though, you wondered how he was able to sit down for so long without phasing through the chair… maybe it was an experience thing?

As you settled down in Snatcher's lap, he produced a worn, leather-bound book from the folds of existence, teleporting it to his clawed hands. It was adorned with cryptic symbols and strange glyphs, a testament to the otherworldly nature of this place.

He flipped it open, revealing the unique language used. “I’ll read it to you,” he told you, likely seeming your bewildered expression. "Now, let's see what tale we can unearth from the annals of Subcon's history," he mused, his eyes glowing faintly as he flipped through the first few pages. “It’s been a while since I’ve read this…” 

“...Anal?” Your lips quivered upwards as you tried not to laugh.

“Annals, as in yearly.” He pouted. “Silly ghost.”

After a moment his clawed fingers passed over the ancient text, expertly navigating the script and reading it aloud. The words he spoke seemed to come alive, weaving a vivid mental tapestry of Subcon's past. It was a tale of struggles, of rebirth, and of the enduring spirit that lived on in this forest.

…You rubbed your eyes, leaning back into him and getting comfortable. Although sleeping was a bit… difficult to do as a ghost, you found yourself drowsing off, head bopping a few times before settling backwards, against his chest. Although you were always interested to learn more, he was just too comfortable to lay on.

You weren’t exactly sure when you fell asleep, but reality faded away as you snuggled up to him, resting in his lap and comforted by his soothing, rumbling voice…

uhhhh. how about alpine thoughts? or how your alpine lore works?

CRACKS KNUCKLES. I’m not proof reading any of this btw ok unfiltered yapping session GO

ok not gonna go too deep into it bc the next chapter is big alpine lore related so it would basically just be redundant but I can still just jot down some general hc stuff that I think will be explained in story but still just wanna have fun jotting down :3👍

-Ok so. Bc the twilight travels rift (that’s the name right??? The twigoat statue/bell one? That) has the three colored bells/statues (red blue and yellow) my thought was the bell might have been made by three people? Or goats in this case I suppose lol, haven’t thought much beyond just some kind of sorcerer/mage group of some kind, that’s basically it, not thought super hard on it beyond that but we’ll get there when we get there ig

-Accession/twilight spirits are essentially like the opposite of ghosts !! Even though they look similar I think they are actually more similar to mj, in that they still have their bodies. But for twi spirits it’s because they are basically frozen/immortal and NOT dead. As I said they are opposites, life and death and all that. The way they form is the same as corruption BUT the difference is they are calm/control their emotion/can accept the magic from their soul, where as corruption is rejecting it/being overwhelmed by it. I think a good example of this is in the prologue it was shown that snatcher makes flowers/plants wilt but twilight spirits have their whole flower thing going on yk? You get the idea

-the alps and subcon I think would be close/trade often!! (I think this got mentioned in the prologue Iirc?)

-Delilah’s mothers side of her family live in alpine while her fathers side of the family lives in subcon, hence she vaguely mentions it in fic a few times (but I also think she also clumped lotus in with her family too but more so to use as an excuse to not be super detailed abt her alp trips) (oh yeah uh if u don’t know Lotus is my TG follower twilight spirit goat oc who is dels guardian! :3)

-the bell isn’t supposed to ACTUALLY lead to the twilight realm, it’s more so meant to just a window/peek at what it’s like, …meant being the key word here (hence Hattie’s in game diary mentioning she thinks she wasn’t supposed to be there) probably gonna slip in some lore about it being under a spell/enchantment of some kind? Maybe only people tied to magic or the twilights specifically can enter, weither it be literal as in knowing TG/Lotus or following them, or more metaphorically like hat being from space counted her? Shrugs I’ll think on it a little more later ig all I know is if you got magic or ties to it you can go to the astral plane directly yayyyy :3👍 fun!!! I love going to the disorienting space afterlife for a visit it’s just an average Tuesday for me it’s fine dw about it

-twigoat religion/following is based more so on Buddhism/concepts of nirvana in my head, like there isn’t an underworld or hell or anything it’s all just one place, but TG isn’t actually a god or anything it’s like the game lore they were just a regular mortal goat who decided to protect the astral plane/watch over it after becoming a twilight spirit/traveling to the bell.

-Design detail is all twilight followers wear silver bells! :3 but NOT gold bc that’s basically saying they are doing it wrong/don’t care. (Examples of this: TG, Lotus, Dels, shady sunburnt, Rei (gold), shapes later/timeskip specifically for a different twilight character later that I’m not spoiling rn, and also party crasher has gold bells but not so much for twilight lore reasons but changeling council lore reasons which I’m not spoiling here sorry womp womp)

-I feel like believing in the twilight realm VS following the twilight goat are like separate things? Just bc the actual astral plane is a concept while TG is a person/religious figure so like most characters would know of or believe in the astral plane but not all of those characters actually follow TG youknow? Having proof of an afterlife basically means beleif in that plane isn’t part of the religion but following the religions morals/teachings IS if that makes sense???? hopefully u get the idea.. lol

-Lotus is TGs follower > dels was Lotus’s Follower > so I think @twipsai s oc zebu would be dels follower :3 (like I think they’d just be a reference and not an actual character in aau but idc I’d still kill for a!zebu <3 love that thing)

Uhhhhh I think that’s all bc my other hcs i think of either bleed into spoilers or I’m already gonna bring em up in the next chap sooooo yayyy :D👍

'Life' as a Ghost Drabbles: A Costly Mistake

Summary: oh my god im so curious now about how it pans out... could i request that?

[A/N] A followup to chapters 28 and 31

~

Intel had indicated that upon becoming a ghost, Hat Kid had settled permanently in Subcon Forest. A logical place for a ghost to be. Without being able to get a proper spy in there though – more like never being able to get one out alive to report what they’d learned – the news of her having wormed her way into Snatcher’s circle hadn’t come until after Snatcher had come looking for her.

In hindsight, maybe Empress should’ve guessed that to be the case. But Snatcher was known primarily for being territorial; entering his forest without his permission was a death sentence. He and his Subconites rarely left. Hat Kid on the other hand left all the time, leading to the conclusion that she wasn’t a proper part of that group. After her third time showing up to haunt the jewelry store – being even more obnoxious than ever – capturing her had seemed not only safe but the best way to finally deal with her. A costly mistake.

Snatcher had left for now but Empress wasn’t stupid enough to think he wouldn’t be back. She knew a thing or two about vengeance and Hat Kid would want vengeance. And if Hat Kid was important enough to Snatcher for him to come here personally to rescue her there was a good chance she’d be able to talk him into coming back for some vengeance. Leaving Empress with two options; get ready to fight Snatcher or flee. The only things she knew for sure about Snatcher though was that he was dead – and thus had nothing to lose – and powerful. Fleeing it was.

Packing up hurt. She’d spent so long and put so much effort into getting where she was now. But better to disappear than die and have her soul eaten in the process. Once the heat died down, she’d return to whatever was left. Hopefully Snatcher wouldn’t kill too many of her underlings so she wouldn’t have to start from absolute zero again.

She zipped up her single bag – it would’ve been nice to bring more but traveling light would keep her form being noticed – before hefting it up onto her back. Pulling up her hood to hide her face, she started for the window. Upon opening it, it was just big enough for her and her pack to squeeze though. Clambering down to the dark alley below was harder than it used to be – she was getting old – but she still managed just fine if a bit slower than she’d have liked.

After a quick clothing adjustment to make sure she looked put together and not like she was on the run from a vengeful ghost, she stepped out of the alley and started for the train station. She already had a ticket, bought under a new pseudonym, that would take her as far out as the Metro trains went. It left in ten minutes, meaning she would be long gone before anyone came looking for her, friend or foe.

Explaining WTF is up with this comic for @darkmedolie and anyone else too shy to ask

This is a comic taking place in A Hat in Time's Subcon's beta/alpha(/I don honestly know) story, in which Painter/Prince/Neth(named such in this Shane Frost comic) evolves into Moonjumper, meaning the Subcon Snatcher is a totally separate character, not to mention having a different person he originated from... So, ingame (Prince->)Snatcher only really has his looks in common with him... Outside of Shane Frost's recent works, Betasnatcher originated and was mainly treated as a joke nuisance character, as opposed to being a threat on the level of MJ, so you could count that as a rather significance difference as well.

The comic is a sort of... Alternate reading, rewrite, etc... of this animatic of Neth becoming the Moonjumper... It's mainly a joke SnatchedBrush (my 'shipname' for art / writing / etc of Neth & Snatcher being close) comic but i suppose you could say it kind of takes place in an AU where Neth has a little more hatred in their heart & does the things he does to a lesser extent but a little more willingly, as well as being a little more lucid. It's kind of an attempt at making the once-crazypopular snatchmoon ship more palatable to me LOL.

The intended context/reading of it is... Neth is cellar'd by vanessa, but escapes it with the curse's help, & immediately goes on to approach his dear friend Snatcher. The curse craves warmth so he immediately starts getting verbally affectionate, to Snatcher's delight. Still, when touched, he notices Neth is not warm (impying death) but doesn't comment on it.. yet, anyway. This is to show he is NOT oblivious to whatever scary thing happened, willfuly or otherwise.. The 2 are approached by a random villager and Neth (neth jumper...? nj...?) immediately & very unexpectedly turns gravely hostile, shocking the Snatcher. This is to show he is going through both scary mental health stuff and the curse affecting him. Blam. like and subscibe and send more asks for more of my dope real as fr*ick thoughts
