do the villain coded trio paint their nails often, and if they do, what colors do they go for? i know you draw minnie with them black sometimes but would she be interested in any other color?
Minnie only does black because it's the Coolest Color and she's a little goth wannabe. Davey used to paint his nails semi-frequently when he was younger, but doesn't anymore for several reasons (one, his line of work means it's liable to get chipped off right quick; two, not like his lifestyle means a lot of going to the club or whatever so he generally doesn't get super dressy most of the time; three, he's only got the one hand to paint with nowadays and Buck sure doesn't know how to do it for him). Buck I don't think has ever painted his nails and would be really bad at doing it himself, but if, say, Minnie ever did his for him I think he would actually really like it. (I think he'd go for mostly very muted colors, maybe a dark red if he was feelin' fancy.)

Not from the question meme I just saw you mention minnie might do good with a plant and I think if she learned about how easy it is to propagate succulents from a little plucked bit of plant shed go full YOU WOULDNT DOWNLOAD A SEEDUM (buttrock guitaur riff) and have like five scrappy Home Depo 'rescues'
YOU'RE SO RIGHT. Bulkhead and Dynamo abruptly at risk of discovery after a cumulative 20 year long criminal career because suddenly there's about 15 downloaded plants out back

HELLO AND THANK YOU QUESTION ASKERS OF THIS GAY EARTH here are your question answers
1) Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite? - Answered this one here and here!
2) Can they take care of a plant?
Of the three, Minnie seems the most likely to do so successfully - she's into biology and chemistry, so at the very least she kinda understand the theory of what care plants need on that level. Buck and Davey could probably manage if they had to, but I think Buck would get super stressed out about possibly killing the plant, and Davey just doesn't have a lot of gardening-specific experience.
8) Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
It depends on the type of puzzle and, honestly, whether or not they're doing well with it. Davey I think is mostly intrigued and much harder to frustrate, Minnie's mostly intrigued but will get frustrated fast if she doesn't get it right away, and Buck almost certainly would be frustrated nine times out of ten (he's got a lot of hangups and self-consciousness around his intelligence). Present it to him as "hey can you puzzle out how to rebuild this busted car engine", though, and he might swap over to intrigued.
9) Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)? - Answered this one here!
11) They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?
For Buck and Davey, probably save, if only on the technicality of "if we get noticed suddenly blowing huge amounts of cash someone will come after us due to We Are Wanted Criminals". I think they could both be tempted to spend at least a bit, though - maybe just a couple new kitchen appliances and a PS5 shipped to a PO box, you know... Minnie is 13 and has no self control she would blow thousands of dollars in a Hot Topic within the hour
13) Name one thing their parents taught them.
Buck's dad and, in turn, Minnie's dad after him, taught each of them how to throw a punch pretty much as soon as they reasonably could. (Whether or not they succeeded is a different question.) Buck's mom, on the other hand, taught him how to block. I think Minnie learned how to read from her mom. Davey learned computer security stuff from his dad, and his mom taught him Spanish. (She tried very, very valiantly to teach him to cook, but he's got the exact inverse of a natural talent there.)
14) Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?
All of Buck's pleasures are guilty because he has an anxiety disorder. Minnie and Davey I think have very opposite views on the subject - Minnie thinks 'guilty pleasures' are fake and stupid, because if you're feeling so guilty about it why bother liking it, idiot? (But then in actuality she is extremely self-conscious about Liking Things, because being genuine and vulnerable is cringe.) Davey, on the other hand, is like yeah guilty pleasures are for sure a thing, I got tons of them, even though in actuality he carries next to no guilt over even the trashiest garbage he likes.
15) What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?
Buck's kind of got a weird relationship with leisure activities in general - he doesn't really "get" sitting down to watch TV or play a video game or something like that. (Nothing against it, and he'll hang out with the TV on once and a while, but he doesn't really seek it out as an activity.) Davey, meanwhile, doesn't really see the point of some chores and social nicety-type stuff (look, he's sorry, he's not gonna make the fucking bed, he's just messing it up again in like 12 hours). Minnie, outside of thinking pretty much all chores are a waste of time (at least for her. Uncle Buck can do as much laundry as he wants), definitely thinks her superhero training-slash-superhero work in general is a waste of time.
16) If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear? - Answered this one here!
27) Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?
Minnie's all in on vengeance, while Buck, contrary to popular interpretation, at least wants to be the forgiving type. Davey's kind of in-between, edging more towards vengeance - if nothing else, he's the type who will begrudgingly give you a second chance if you genuinely attempt to make amends, but he will never forget what you did.

oc asks that reveal more than you think
Do they sleep with a stuffed animal? If they have multiple, who’s the favorite?
Can they take care of a plant? What about a pet? What about a child?
Ask them to describe their love interest.
Do they look good in red?
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
Who will they take advice from, no matter what it is? Who won’t they take advice from, no matter what it is?
Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?
Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?
What age do they most want to be right now?
They’ve won the lottery. Spend, or save?
Do they like romance in the books they read (or in the book they’re in)?
Name one thing their parents taught them.
Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?
What would they consider a waste of time– other than school or work?
If money wasn’t a limit, what would they wear?
Do they like children?
Kissing: tongue or no tongue?
Do they study before tests? Practice before job interviews?
What do they like that nobody else does?
What would it take for them to break up with someone? What would be the last straw?
Do they like being called pet names? Do they call other people pet names? What’s their go-to?
Stability or novelty?
Honesty or charity?
Safety or possibility?
Talent or effort?
Forgiveness or vengeance (or…)?
Would they date a fixer-upper?
What recurring dreams do they have?
What would they do if they knew it would be forgiven?

[gets really close to the microphone] hey if your guys were a band (AU or just on top of everything else) what genre would they play, and what instruments?
oh man this is SO fun to think about because of all the things the trio are good with music is. Not Up There LOL. of the three of them Davey's the Most musical (mostly in that he likes to sing and is Pretty Okay at it, if extremely untrained). In an AU where they were a band I feel like they'd go for charmingly amateurish garage rock/electronica; Minnie would probably do synth/chiptune type mixing and Buck I can see gelling with drums, while Davey of course is their highly charismatic vocalist. they have exactly 10 listeners on Soundcloud at their peak.
#anonymous puzzler answers#strangegutz#villain coded comic#anonymous puzzler originals#extremely funny given minnie eventually hangs out with nemo who IS in a band (minnie does their posters & publicity photos)#nemo & friends I think do extremely buttrock/nu-metal type stuff & they are Extremely High School Freshmen

Hi! Love your guys more every time I see them, btw. Hmmmm. Have you already mentioned what are each their favourite board games? Or card games? Eg. my sister and I would play a lot of slapjack or war as kids, but our parents/their friends preferred stuff like gin rummy and tripoley
I think of the three of them Davey's the most well-versed in board and card games - I can see him really enjoying card games generally; slapjack, bull, war, maybe even some poker. I'll bet you he did a little bit of tabletop gaming as a young adult too, albeit not particularly seriously. Buck and Minnie meanwhile I think can enjoy card & board games when presented the opportunity, but neither especially grew up on them, and they're both equally sore winners AND losers, so like. proceed with caution
#anonymous puzzler answers#villain coded comic#anonymous puzzler originals#buck's self esteem is Clinically Low and he rarely catches a break so he beats himself up bigstyle if he loses & is insufferable if he wins#meanwhile minnie Is Thirteen Years Old with all that entails.

since Buck played cookie run (before being banned) did he have a favorite character? or did nothing matter other than the joy of the gacha lol
mostly he was playing for the joy of gacha - Buck unfortunately is Very susceptible to gambling and addictive patterns/etc for a lot of reasons; in some ways the gacha addiction was a healthier substitute for more overtly harmful patterns earlier in his life (though even then he's objectively Much better off now that Davey's gotten him off the gacha too). even then he definitely had his favorites though - Captain Caviar was a big one (a loud-mouth villain who actually is deeply respected and helps a lot of people huh.........)
#anonymous puzzler answers#villain coded comic#anonymous puzzler originals#tw addiction mention#buck's fucking been through it man swear to god.#anyway hi i'm digging through my inbox to see if there's any asks i can answer without a doodle that i forgot about feel free to send more

i been doing a lot of OC template type things for Buck and Davey lately for the fun of it and it's actually been real good character-building work!! here are some that i particularly liked slash thought other people would be interested in.
full transcripts/IDs (as well as links to the original blank templates!) under cut instead of in ALT text this time because it turns out tumblr does, in fact, have a character cap for alt text and something like this is how you meet it
A series of character info templates filled out for Puzz's OCs, Buck (a middle-aged White man with a stocky, barrel-chested build, large nose, square head, bushy red mustache, and balding hairstyle with one tuft of red hair on top of his head) and Davey (a middle-aged Black man with a lanky build, amputated right arm, large ears, large eyes with long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, thin mustache, diagonal scar across his face, and long, curly, dark brown hair in a ponytail).
1) Template by cparrisart (LINK)
Two copies of the template, Davey's on the left, Buck's on the right. Davey's image is a colored version of him wearing a dark blue-green t-shirt and staring into the camera with a gentle, serene grin. His information is filled out as follows:

2) Ship interviews by attorneytrash (LINK)
Two copies of the template, Buck's on top in light green, Davey's on the bottom in light blue.
Buck's copy is titled "Buck Armstrong" and on the subject of "Davey <- I don't know his last name?" The image is a copy of a drawing showing him flustered, with his tongue sticking out slightly. The rest of the info is filled out as follows:

3) Silly Ship template by umsey (LINK)
There is a section at the top center with two circles for each member of the ship to be drawn. Buck is drawn on the left and Davey is drawn on the right; Davey is leaning out of his "bubble" and grabbing a flustered Buck by the collar of his turtleneck to pull him in for a passionate kiss. The "quote" sections have been replaced with a gay flag for Buck and a bi flag for Davey. The "bar" sections are filled with green for Buck and blue for Davey, and the "chart" and "slider" sections use small colored icons of Buck and Davey's faces to represent their answers. Going from top to bottom, the sheet is filled out as follows:
HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER: Seven slutty, slutty years
HEIGHT: BUCK 5'6" | Davey 5'11"
GENDER & PRONOUNS: BUCK Man he/him | DAVEY Fruity dude he/him
TRUST: BUCK bar mostly full | DAVEY bar completely full
CLINGY: BUCK bar completely full | DAVEY bar about half-full
DOWN BAD: BUCK bar completely full | DAVEY bar mostly full
HATRED: BUCK bar practically empty | DAVEY bar practically empty
WOULD PROPOSE <--> PLEASE PROPOSE TO ME!!!!!: BUCK mostly to "please propose" | DAVEY all the way to "would propose"
(Image of man in Scrooge-style nightgown and nightcap holding a little candle on a plate) <--> (Image of frilly pink "no officer I have no idea what happened to my husband"-style nightgown): BUCK all the way to Scrooge nightgown | DAVEY all the way to frilly nightgown
WASHES THE DISHES <--> (Image of someone eating cereal out of a croc shoe): BUCK all the way to "washes dishes" | DAVEY mostly to "eating out of shoe"
THEIR PARENTAL FIGURE(S) APPROVE OF YOU <--> THEIR PARENTAL FIGURE(S) DO NOT APPROVE OF YOU: BUCK all the way to "do not" | DAVEY mostly to "do"
IS FINE WITH/DOES NOT MIND WRONG ORDER <--> EXCUSE ME! THEY ASKED FOR NO PICKLES!: BUCK mostly to "excuse me" | DAVEY all the way to "excuse me"
GIFT ITEMS THAT ARE TRADITIONAL/ROMANTIC <--> "I FOUND THIS SHINY ROCK FOR YOU": Both all the way to "shiny rock"
MAKING BREAKFAST FOR MY BEAUTIFUL SPOUSE!!!!!!!! <--> WHO TF IS BURNING DOWN MY KITCHEN: BUCK all the way to "making breakfast" | DAVEY all the way to "who's burning down my kitchen"
TRIANGLE CHART BETWEEN "I CAN FIX THEM", "I CAN MAKE THEM WORSE", and "I ACCEPT THEM AS IS": BUCK on axis between "accept" and "worse", almost all the way to "accept" | DAVEY on axis between "accept" and "fix", almost all the way to "accept"
QUADRANT CHART BETWEEN "IS NORMAL ABOUT THEM" VS "VIOLENT TENDENCIES JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM RAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" AND "'WAIT, YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP??'" VS "'CAN WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE NOW' (WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT THEM)": BUCK all the way to "wait, you're in a relationship??" and mostly to "violent tendencies" | DAVEY all the way to "can we talk about something else" and mostly middle, slightly closer to "violent tendencies"
4 & 5) OC Dialogue template by cereovo (LINK)
Buck's version of the template is done first, with dark olive-green backgrounds. His introduction reads "I'm Buck. …what? Aren't we done here?" He is drawn looking directly into the camera in a very casual way, grimacing slightly. His voice is described as "very low, gruff voice. Naturally flat affect, he speaks more animatedly when he's in 'supervillain' mode." His voice claim(s) are listed as a mix of Hiroshi Naka (Senshi), Stefán Karl Stefánsson (Robbie Rotten), Richard Grosse (Douglas Cartland), Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson), and Long John Baldry (Dr. Robotnik).
The "slider" section indicates Buck swears constantly, is slightly more "stiff and formal" than he is "full of slang", has a mostly simple vocabulary, is mostly monotonous, is slightly more "emotions on sleeve" than he is "talks around feelings", has slightly more minimal body language, and is much more of a listener.
For the section "In their own words, what are they proud of/what is their most passionate interest?", Buck is drawn with his arms folded, looking off to the side, brow slightly furrowed. He says, "I mean, I like cars, I guess? Tinkering with shit in general, but especially cars. I just think they're neat. Other than that I guess I do some cooking. It's kinda fun trying to figure out how to cook somethin' well, I think. I dunno."
For the section "How would they respond to an insult that hit the mark?", Buck is drawn with his arms folded in front of himself protectively, staring at the camera wide-eyed, looking on the verge of tears. He says simply "………."
For the section "They've been caught doing… something! Can they talk their way out of it?", Buck is seen frantically typing on a phone. He says, "Listen I know this looks bad but I have it under control this time just give me like three or five more rolls and I can for sure get Captain Caviar this time just let me have another roll I'll just rob another bank it's fine let me have this,"
For the final section, "Free space / dramatic monologue!", he is shown gesticulating casually with one hand. He says, in font that gets gradually smaller as he rambles on, "So my main car's a modded Wuling Sunshine, yeah? A first gen specifically, they phased that version out in 2013. They're real popular in China - best seller 2010 thru 201 - third best seller on the entire planet, I think? Anyway, it's a mid-mounted engine by default, five speed manual gearbox, rack and pinion steering - oh, that means there's like a big bar with teeth, that's the rack, and the pinion gear runs along the teeth and that's how you turn,"
Davey's version of the template is second, with de-saturated light-blue backgrounds. His introduction reads, "Heyyy. You probably know me as The Dynamo, but friends call me Davey. What say the two of us be friends, yeah?" He is drawn looking directly into the camera with a hand on his chest and a playful, almost flirtatious grin. His voice is described as "Lightly nasally, kind of lilting, very expressive and sing-song. Turns sharp and low when he's serious." His voice claim(s) are listed as a mix of Kappei Yamaguchi (Sogeking), the voice sample going "Lemme hear you say, yo!" in Oldies But Happies by Hideki Naganuma in JSR Future, and L.T. "Frankie" Frankenstein (his VA always and forever).
The "slider" section indicates Davey swears constantly, uses lots of slang, is roughly in-between "simple vocabulary" and "purple prose" (with a very slight leaning towards the latter), is "practically singing", leans more towards "talks around feelings" than "emotions on sleeve", gestures excitedly, and leans slightly towards dominating the conversation.
For the section "In their own words, what are they proud of/what is their most passionate interest?", Davey is drawn grinning and holding up a wrench, saying, "I'm a mechanic by trade - cars for the most part, but I've picked up general handyman work too - and I'm proud of that! I like figuring out how stuff works and how to fix it. To say nothing of all the stuff I make from scratch now with Buck!"
For the section "How would they respond to an insult that hit the mark?", Davey is drawn squinting aggressively with a tight grin, looking highly confrontational, saying, "Choose your next words very carefully."
For the section "They've been caught doing… something! Can they talk their way out of it?", Davey is drawn holding a lit cigarette and grinning anxiously, saying, "Hhheeeyyy. What's uppp. Yeah, no, I'm just hanging out here. What? Smoking? Nah, I gave up smoking years ago. Don't be silly. This? Man what is this how did this get here. Someone must have... left it here. How. Weird. Please don't tell Buck"
For the final section, "Free space / dramatic monologue!", Davey is tapping one of his ears with a small, playful grin, saying, "So I got these bigass ears, yeah? And they looked even more goofy when I was a little kid. So one day a new kid transfers in, and I guess he's really desperate to fit in, cause he immediately starts making fun, calling me 'Dumbo', you know. What he doesn't know is I commit to a bit like nobody's business, so I say yeah, I can fly with 'em too, I do shows on weekends, get me $20 and maybe I'll show you. Bad news, two weeks later he's scrounged it up, so I have to be like, OK, bet, and I get up on the school roof and take a flying leap and break my fucking leg. My folks were furious. But I gave my sis $5 to convince my class I died while I was out, which was hilarious."
6) Driving template by snarbsart (LINK)
