#which I do with a lot of robot characters but also the Salesman TBH.

I just started following you and I think your OCs relationship with age (dot) as well as actually having older OCs is really neat!

Thank you so much! Weird relationships to age is one of my favorite things to do (autism metaphor) + I like to have variety in my characters as much as possible, though I do find myself having personal trends... Also, with older characters you can put fit more events in their life before it starts to sound silly.

Character bingo: Goemon and Spamton

Okay first off I'd like to preface this by saying these two interacting would be THE funniest duo of all time and what's even better is that there's absolutely nothing in the Lupin III verse that would preclude Spamton from being there. Like a used car salesman who was cursed to be a horrible little puppet and now spends his days trying to convince people to help him steal a robotic body that will allow him to transcend and become God? Sounds only 65% as weird as most plotlines on the show tbh.

THAT SAID:

For Mr. Goemon Ishikawa XIII:

I'm the only one who knows anything about them: MODERN WRITERS STOP FUCKING UP HIS CHARACTER CHALLENGE! Let him be arrogant and snarky and self-important and stubborn and a really bad samurai who only convinces his friends that he's a Great Samurai because he can do fancy sword tricks and literally none of them know what a samurai is! Let him be funny and sometimes have the brain cell but also sometimes very NOT! Let him be a bastard who sells out his friends for one corn chip while proclaiming he'd never do such a thing and then turning around and walking through the fires of hell for them just to keep them guessing! Let him be good at video games! Come on!

pathetic wet cat of a man: He hangs out with Lupin and Jigen so he seems the least Wet Cat by comparison but make no mistake. He is a Wet Cat. In his soul

they could've been such a great character handled differently: This is true of every Lupin character in some way though and is really YMMV depending on which installment you're watching etc.

they have done nothing wrong, ever, in their life: (JOKE) I don't like when people have this Take about him in earnest but if you say it ironically it's very funny. He should be allowed to steal and vandalize and kill. As a treat <3

Autism™ : Diagnosing everyone I've done so far with this as is right and proper

will somebody give them a fucking hug etc: the answer is yes and he will get one when he gets home :) His family loves him! I love that <3

they could pour soup in my lap: UNTOUCHABLY cool guy even if he's secretly a Huge Dork

based: YES

There's nothing going on behind those eyes <3: He joined the clown brigade! He knew what he was getting into!

For Mr. Spamton G. Spamton:

If I Met Them I'd Beat Them Up (affectionate): And I wouldn't pay him for it either! Flinging him into the core of the sun as we speak! Get Fuckt Puppet Boy!

Pathetic Wet Cat: He thinks he's hot shit but he is in fact THE most Pathetic Wet Cat I think we've met on the game to date. And we've met ROUXLS.

Anti-Blorb. Thinking of him constantly and I hate it: Fuck! He got into my brain! Horrid little man! But yeah I REALLY like to Rotate this guy. Lots to Unpack there.

AGSADHSJHGDSGFJDHGFDJ etc: You know how it is

Autism™: He sure does

Genuinely what the fuck: ~Me, when he popped out of that fucking dumpster for the first time

Will somebody please give them a hug: In Spite of Everything I do actually want him to experience self-acceptance, affection, inner peace etc. I mean this guy has never really had any approval in his whole LIFE except when he was being manipulated by an outside force! People only love him when he's not in control of himself! The minute he steps back and the mask comes off he's rejected and discarded! It's horrible!

there's nothing going on behind those eyes <3: AGAIN he thinks he is a Brilliant Manipulator but the deadass ONLY reason anyone helps him is out of A). Morbid Curiosity or B). Pity and literally no other reason like he is SO blatant about his Evil Plans it's very funny

I mean technically it worked though! But not for the reasons HE thinks dgshgdjfgjdfgdjfhd
