Agent 4, Agent 3, and Agent 8/Marmon Hachibana concept doodles.
Is it a little sad that I never actually named my Four and Three but did name my Eight despite her being the most recent addition since I’ve been playing these since 2015? Yeah kinda. I’ll find suitable names for those two eventually to distinguish them from the game canon versions as well as others’ OCs. These doodles are a bit older, I’m slowly teaching myself how to draw Splatoon characters but it’s not easy since it’s way out of my normal art style.
All three of them are wearing the gear I most commonly played them with. I’m mainly an E. Liter main and always kinda have been, but for the characters themselves Four mains Kensa Dualies, Three mains the Golden Dynamo, and Hachibana mains the standard E. Liter 4k build. I miss the E. Liter 3k….
#splatoon oc#splatoon#Splatoon 2#agent 8#agent 3#agent 4#I do like my four a lot tho she’s such a brat lol#she absolutely detests Marie and they become more amicable later on but#there’s still some underlying snark there#she is however a total Callie simp when she first meets her (having never been interested in the squid sisters before)#Three is kinda just a local cryptid which isn’t that far from canon really#Four is the oldest of the group partly bc of the line of dialogue that says four is like three but a couple years older#which was just in reference to the game coming out a few years after the first but I’ll take it#I have her set around 20 or so while three is like 18#which does mean she was 16 during the events of the first game which is tragic#marmon hachibana

((I'll repost the thing about Myriel soon! I had some Thoughts about Gylfie and her ambition so now I'm trying to sort that all out and how it affected her ability to maintain relationships
#local cryptid sighting (ooc)#((actually I'll need to add that to my list of things to write up for her#since I still want to get into her morality and how she views it in herself#but I wanna talk about her ambition because while she's absolutely relentless when it comes to what she wants#she blinded herself with it so she failed to make a fail-safe if she was fully denied her goals#or was unable to succeed one way or another#but she let it become nearly Everything she is and didn't leave room for other desires#so like. it's not really something that would come to her attention in her main verses#but in the mcu verse when she's denied fieldwork and essentially stuck in the corner she realizes she has. no idea what else she wants to d#and is basically stuck with her own thoughts and realizations that she could've had her own life outside of her work#if she had just curbed her ambition just /enough/ - not get rid of it completely but to prevent it from defining her fully#and I know I'm not explaining this well because it's ping-ponging around my head and I'm Struggling to focus my thoughts djkfhgsd))

Supervillains for a community. (Well, except those jerks over in Gotham, insular lot, but they’re they’re one problem) Of course they do- supervillains are a group defined by strong opinions and a willingness to see them through, often with a healthy dash of societal failures and trauma as a catalyst.
The fentons, while not active even on the online message boards, are well known and explosive when they do show up, full of fascinating insights and hours long rants on mad science on hair pin turns courtesy of that ADHD attention span. Bit of the cryptids you feel honored to bump into kind of deal. Besides, like a good quarter of the community as it aged, they’d settled down and had kids (not necessarily in that order) and taken it very seriously! Out in the middle of nowhere, where even the most fearsome government outpost members, the local branch of the IRS, quake before them in fear. Out of the way.
Reveal gone okay-ish, Danny moves to Gotham still to get some air bc now things are Akward and he landed that engineering scholarship which is loads better than any other college would give him with his track record. So- the mysterious Fenton children are finally crawling out of hiding! Everyone is psyched! And roll in to Gotham en masse to witness the fireworks!
Except Danny is Determined To Be Normal. He’s had enough of the throwing himself into harms way shit for a lifetime- he wants to be free to peacefully built Rube Goldberg machines and unintentional increasingly complex bombs to his hearts content. JAZZ, on the other hand- the coveted token Normal One, has finally snapped! She’s watched her baby brother she practically raised throw himself into danger over and over and could do nothing, and now that she’s exposed to this whole network of superheroes outside of small town Amnity, some of those uglier emotions are coming out. And boy is she pissed! And can’t afford to show it much while filing the paperwork to have Arkham legally razed to the ground!
See I love this idea of like, niches in superhero society. A villain the heroes know they can plop their kiddo down with for an exciting afternoon brawl while they take care of a particularly grisly case and come back to a few hours later ranting about some new life lesson and a new move they really want to try. A villain who has a functioning moral compass despite their somewhat batshit long term goal and you can contact to fuck with another villains’s plan so they can laugh at them and you can have an easy afternoon. One who pries up hostile architecture and fills in pot holes, idk man. Get creative here, there’s such potential!
So Jazz becomes a Training villain- someone the heroes know their sidekicks will walk away from in a fight 100% of the time, usually with some new lesson to ponder and only a couple of bruises. Sometimes even snacks!
She also absolutely ambushes mentors to check that they’re worth the kiddo, which they appreciate once they get over being jumped in a dark alley by a 7 foot Amazon trained force of nature. They are not used to being on that side of the jumping, it’s a little unnerving.
(Yes, she low key adopts Shazam upon checking in with him on cursory ‘is the main hero of this city and asshole’ checkin. Yes, the super clones get yoinked out from under Superman’s negligent thumb to go have a blast with Ellie. What about it?)
This however only encourages more assorted weirdos to crawl out of the woodwork. It’s not often one of their own forfeits their potential spot for the running of the coveted Most Normal I Swear prize, but when they do it’s bound to be good! But jazz is off hounding various heroes and punching the faces in of pedophiles and shit whenever there’s no cape within easy reach, and so is a mite bit harder to contact than Danny, who has innocently gotten an apprenticeship under a clockworker for access to their workshop and is gleefully going about doing nerdy shit with great abandon.
Plus this is Gotham. No one gives a shit if someone in the Mad Alchemist uniform and still smoking from their latest experiment pokes their head in a window to bother the local shrimp teen- none of the usual social rules apply, everyone’s crazy here! So everyone drops any and all attempts at masking and just acts their genuine unhinged selves, much to the alarm of the Bats and frustration of Danny.
Bc he cannot get these mfers to go. Away. Even liberal use of the creep stick has little effect when the interloper is calibrated for an opponent with super speed or laser vision or whatever, and he’s trying to maintain his guise as a Normal College Student Do No Investigate.
So he calls in the big guns. He’s not super active in the supervillain kids group chat ever since things in amnity calmed the fuck down post becoming King and then immediately using a loophole that says he will not take the throne until he is grown, as defined by finishing learning his trade a la the medieval standards Pariah set up. So he can just take his sweet ass time with his graduate degree and out of inter dimensional bull shit that much longer! Point is, he hasn’t taken the chance to rant over there in a while, so his Crazy friends are getting a lil worried.
The change to come over and shout at their batshit crazy but (mostly) well meaning parent AND see Danny? Score!
The bats, however, are getting awfully suspicious about this one kid that villains from all over the country are flocking to, especially young and upcoming ones as of recently! And he’s acting his engineering course- all the worst rogues are known to have flown through their PhD studies prior to Cracking. They seem to have a real problem on their hands with this Fenton guy.
#dp x dc#dc x dp#mad science#supervillain community#bonus points if you can pull out some super niche comic villain#justice for kite man#local child of a crazy chemist: so you know that trick you showed me with the soda and the reaction that could turn into just like all foam#Danny: yeah and also back the fuck up#lcoacc: so it’s been like my comfort food right but like I started wondering what you could do#danny: oh no (he says while making what amounts of an overachieving smoke bomb)#lcoacc: so I was like what if I add more of a base to it so it could be solid and then maybe just like a LIL acid to see what happens#Danny: oh ancients#lcoacc: but then the killjoy supes came in a ruined everything from where I was ruining lex Luther’s day#Danny:… did you get in on camera#lcoacc: OF COURSE. oh also like everyone ever if coming over for a sleepover lol#Danny: WHAT I CANT FEED YOU MONSTERS#lcoacc: no worrries we’ll rob a bulk store or something lol#Danny: nO

Classified. They are watching.
Comforting (and enabling) a grieving mother.
Usually, no one else is there for her. Strange, how the local cryptid and voice of the Federation is the one present to comfort Jaiden?
Do you think, somewhere along the lines, Cucurucho has, or will, become attached to her? She's so kind to them, so gracious in her opinions of them.
I wonder if her view of them alters them in anyway? Cucurucho sure is kind to her, and around her. Good acting? or genuine? I'd like to think they've become fond of her, in some way, and is actually happy to see her when they interact. That they do want to help her, in some way. They're limited in what they can do, but if they do view her in this way then... well, they'd have to be careful, wouldn't they?
I love how Jaiden interacts with this weird bear creature. She never gets angry at them for their limited speech and their lack of control over what they're allowed to share with her. She's so understanding and sweet.
(edit: i forgot to watermark it like at all)

more goblins to make up for missing goblin week~
goblin descriptions under the cut.
first up is Easel, a goblin artist. have you ever gone into the woods and found a spooky talisman hanging from a tree? how about intricate effigies made of woodland debris that are as unsettling as they are beautiful? or maybe small clay figures tucked under tree roots that almost look alive? if so, you might have seen Easel's work. he specializes in non-intrusive environmentally friendly long term outdoor art. it's surprisingly difficult to make certain types of shrines and such without accidentally fucking with the local wildlife by stacking the wrong rocks in the wrong places and upsetting the very forest god you wish to appease, or to make something with the right spooky vibe that doesn't fall apart the second a squirrel bumps into it. that's where he comes in. He's currently commissioned by a bunch of small gods (which pisses off some of their jealous followers who consider him the the town bicycle as far as worshipers go even though he never claimed to be a monotheist) and he does quite well for himself.
next is Parisol, a sea goblin heading home from her latest tutoring job. Abyssal languages are getting really popular these days and there are few amphibious or land people who speak it fluently, so it's good money while she works on becoming a full fledged librarian. the only downside are the cults but they're more creepy dweebs than actual dangers. she hasn't met one who's gotten a hold of a real Tome yet, not that it would matter. their pronunciation is horrible.
then there’s a goblin named Moole. nothing really special about her, she’s just chillin' out with her Pets. when asked what the Pets are she replied: "Yeah, I don't know what they are. They kept showing up at midnight in the empty cages of the rescue I volunteer at sometimes and I decided to foster them to see if they were like, evil? Ended up keeping them. Total foster fail. What's that? Are they-Oh, I don't know dude, they can be mischievous i guess? They're just little guys."
and last but not least are a couple of lads born from Space Bat asking for ‘midnight snackin' feline cryptids’ and Tama asking for ‘late night trips to the nearest fast food place with a friend’. so they’re some nekomata inspired former highschool bffs reconnecting after work over food truck fare. what's better than this? just guys being dudes.

Hey, I was looking through your stuff about Shadow of Shady Shore, and I really want to hear the lore behind it! Why is this random dad turning into a fluffy werewolf-adjacent monster? Who are the two women he hangs out with? Did he have a wife of some sort? You don't need to answer, but I am very curious.
The Random Dad's name is Luka (he/him). He's a divorced single father. His daughter's name is Harriet (she/they) but he calls her Bug.
One day he kinda just. melted. for some reason. and turned into that big snake/slug/ferret/werewolf adjacent creature you see in some of my drawings. He can shapeshift and hold that shape for only a certain amount of time so he uses that to take on human form to do normal people things like try to hold down a job and take his kid to school. They move to a tiny kind-of-quiet-but-not-really town called Shady Shore.
In Shady Shore, they meet some people like the person with the freckles who studies plants (Clover - she/her), and the tall guy with glasses (MJ-they/them), they're an artist and part-time waiter at a local diner. Clover also has a niece she takes care of named Bonnie (she/her). They all become become friends eventually, but I like drawing them post-becoming friends because i currently have no plans to do anything with this at the moment and just wanna draw em holding hands and doing chores. (burnout recovery reasons)
Luka's arrival to the town causes a bit of a stir as some of the townies spot him in the woods in creature mode and now everyone's on the look out for the mysterious cryptid that has suddenly shown up in town, both locals and tourists, alike.
He did have a wife at some point, but they aren't together anymore.
#the extra (not so) secret lore is that it used to be an au that got too far away from the source material#so now im reworking it into a fun little brain world for me to play with like Barbies#soss#shadow of shady shore#its kinda stardew inspired in a way#like slice-of-life-ish in a small town you have no choice but to befriend#but instead of an aspiring farmer looking to escape a corporate office environment#you're a minimum wage single father#who is also a werewolf. kind of.

i’ve had a couple asks about the rest of the aquato family in FSAU. i’m still figuring out designs for the rest of them, but here are Dion and Frazie! (bonus Raz for scale. Frazie is the tallest of the sibs! Queepie is the shortest, and Mirtala is around Raz’s height.)
more sketches/info under the cut.
Dion stays with the family circus! i can’t imagine anything else for him, honestly. i like to imagine they get a little more established after the game - expand, maybe link up with some other acts. he gets a lot more confident, and basically steps into his role as Augustus’ successor (although the old man is still around and running things!)
things are... a little tense between him and Raz. they’re cordial, for sure, but i think at family gatherings there are a lot of snide comments haha. Dion still kind of sees Raz as betraying the family, and Raz is entirely done with trying to persuade him otherwise so there’s kind of a lingering animosity there.
Frazie goes through the intern program and trains at the Motherlobe for a while, but ultimately i think she decides she’s not really interested in being a Psychonaut? she really takes to the psychic stuff, though, and eventually she becomes kind of an informal field agent. she travels with the family caravan, but on the side she investigates local cryptids and psychic phenomena. i love the idea of Otto as her intern mentor (something about the Raz&Ford parallels), so she becomes kind of like his traveling informant.
she doesn’t really ‘work’ at the Motherlobe but she stops back any time the circus is in town to harass Raz
#psychonauts#(maintagging because this is nice art. check them out!#future superstar agents au#fsau raz#fsau dion#fsau frazie#of the other two siblings: mirtala stays with the circus#queepie has just graduated to a junior agent in the current 'timeline' but he's not super passionate about it#and after a recent scare he's kinda going through a crisis of faith#but i'll explore those two more down the line#thank u to fuzzy for planting the idea of frazie and otto mentorship in my head#it's so good they have such a dynamic in my mind. turning it over and over#also little bit tipsy while i'm writing this so sorry if there are typos lmao#polish

DEVIL MONKEYS- VIRGINIA
Though South America, Central America and southern Mexico have a great diversity of primates, northern North America has none aside from humans. This is ironic given that the earliest known primate- a small, squirrel-like creature called Purgatorius- evolved on this continent. Descendants of Purgatorius and its relatives diversified into several lineages of tarsier- and lemur-like forms that inhabited North America during the warm Eocene epoch before supposedly dying out as the land grew cooler and grasslands became more abundant.
A fossil find in 1960s altered this view when molars from a lemur-like creature dubbed Ekgmowechasala (Sioux for “Little Cat Man”) were unearthed on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This animal lived in the Oligocene, millions of years after other primates were thought to have died out, proving that at least a few of these lines had continued. Though no younger North American primate fossils have been found since, what if descendants of Ekgmowechasala survived into the present day?
In 1959 a couple by the name of Boyd were driving home near Saltville, Virginia when a strange, monkey-like beast attacked their car. They described it as having light “taffy-colored” fur with a white belly, and powerful, muscular legs. Other people in the Saltville area reported seeing a similar creature around the same time.
Then in the 1990s a woman driving on a dark Virginia backroad saw a creature run in front of her car that she described as black and sleek with a long tail, pointy ears, a short-snouted face, a man-like torso, and powerful hind legs. Though the earlier Boyd cryptid bears little resemblance to this animal- and may in fact have been a different species- both incidents have been conflated in pop culture as encounters with what have come to be called devil monkeys.
While the Virginia encounters are the most well-known sightings, devil monkeys have been seen throughout North America. Coweta County, Georgia, for example, is haunted by the Belt Road Booger, a simian creature with a “flat, beaver-like tail covered in hair”. Run-ins with the Booger began in the 1970s, many of them now believed to have been hoaxes by pranksters dressed in gorilla costumes. But other encounters have not yet been fully explained. The Belt Road Booger has become such a local sensation that a taxidermist in Newnan, Georgia even made a fake “Booger” head out of a white-tailed deer’s posterior as a decoration for a friend’s hardware store.
There is also possible photographic evidence of a devil monkey. In 1996 photos surfaced online of a strange, furry, baboon-like carcass lying along the curb of a Louisiana highway. Dubbed the Deridder Roadkill, the body bears a distinct resemblance to descriptions of these cryptids with its long snout, bushy-haired body, and ape-like feet. While some have suggested the carcass was a devil monkey, others have proposed that it could be a rougarou, dogman, or even a chupacabra. More mundane suggestions include a large Pomeranian dog, or even a prop. However, as so often happens in these cases, the body disappeared before samples could be taken, so its identity could not be proved definitively.
Devil monkeys are often said to have powerful kangaroo-like hind legs that allow them to jump huge distances. This feature has led some cryptozoologists to wonder if widely reported “phantom kangaroos” sighted throughout the US and Canada might actually be these animals.
While stories of large non-human North American primates like sasquatch and skunk apes are abundant in folklore and cryptozoology, no fossil evidence for these creatures has been found. Thus if they are real, one could argue that they likely migrated to this continent late in geological history along the same routes that humans used. Devil monkeys, on the other hand, may represent a species of home-grown North American primate possibly descended from Ekgmowechasala or similar animals.

Cringefail Throuple 💡
Professor Michael Gavey is the biggest mystery at Oxford. Nevermind the rumors of ghosts or secret societies. Everyone, regardless of what they’re reading, wants to know what the fuck is going on with him.
It all started when two of his students saw him walking towards a car that a beautiful woman was just getting out of. The students thought they were about to see him getting rejected HARD, but then as he and the woman meet at the boot of the car, they kiss! Very passionately and sloppily!
One of the students whips out his phone and takes a picture on instinct, later posting it on the Oxford subreddit with the comment “this has to be a hooker, right?” Why else would a woman like that kiss a guy as brusque, rude, and just plain weird as Professor Gavey?
But then, only two days later, another student posts pictures they took that zoom in on the matching rings the professor and the woman wear. They’re fucking married! The subreddit goes wild.
The true conspiracies don’t start until some students see the woman (“Mrs. Gavey, I guess?”) at their favourite local pub, brazenly flirting with the owner as he tends bar. They sneak a photo and post it on the subreddit, and all of a sudden all of Oxford is up in arms that their least favourite maths professor’s wife is cheating on him.
Until later that week, another student posts a photo of both Mrs. Gavey and the professor BOTH flirting with the pub owner, who seems to reciprocate!
The mods of the Oxford subreddit make a new subreddit specifically for the Professor Gavey conspiracies after that.
The theories range from the denials (“there’s no way Gavey got not one, but TWO people to like him!”) to the correct (“it’s def a throuple”) to the actually insane (“Gavey is a pimp in his spare time and he’s just checking out his hos”).
Michael, Reader, and Billy are well aware of this, and enjoy looking through the subreddit when they’ve had a few pints. Billy even has a burner account where he posts his own, obviously incorrect, theories. He’s now known as the “secret agent truther” among the small but passionate community.
Reader doesn’t really care at all. She thinks it’s kinda funny, actually.
Michael was a bit pissed at first, but then he realized that the intrigue was leading to more students taking his classes, and after that, some even switched their course to maths. Now he’s all for encouraging it. After all, the more students take his class, the more bonuses he gets, and the more he can spoils his cringefail lovers.
Local cryptid math professor Michael Gavey, who is the strictest, the biggest asshole in the whole university, who dresses like a loser grandpa, who revels in failing his students and making them feel stupid. And no one knows a single thing about him. The Oxford subreddit is full of his students, and ex students, whining and bitching about him; the stolen photo is a bomb, it becomes the hive of the conversation. The barrage of new pics are all people are talking about, and that's when you three get a whiff of what is going on.
You can't stop laughing: they all hate Michael, yet they're inflamed because of your supposed 'cheating' with Billy. Michael is not as happy, they call you all variations of "slut" under the sun and who takes pictures of strangers kissing?
"You know we can drive them even madder, by feeding them false information? Muddle the waters, so to say" Billy says after the photo of you three flirting makes its way into the subreddit.
You can see the mischievous spark in Michael's eyes.
"They're going to make fools of themselves. That's what they deserve for snooping and insulting you." He says menacingly.
And so it starts, the barrage of false, bordering to absurd, opinions, flood the 'Michael Gavey conspiracies' subreddit, raging from "Maybe they're just friends" to "The guy from the pub is their bull", to "No, the professor is the bull." to "Gavey is in a secret society, those two are just members!" to "They're in for the sex. Why do you think Professor Gavey dresses that way? He's hiding his monster dong in there!". Some people believe in the "Throuple theory", others are hell bent in proving that the kiss in the first photo never happened, it was just the terrible angle; they are not kissing, it's fake news!!! Others are all in for the "Professor Gavey is the head of a sex cult", whilst a small fractions wonders why he's always such in a terrible mood, with two hot people by his side, perhaps the sex is awful?
Some of those theories are carried on by Billy's various burner accounts; he randomly logs in and trolls the subreddit, while you three are relaxing for the night, telly on and feet on the coffee table. He plops himself next to you and Michael, wondering which account he should use for the night ("I haven't logged in the 'Gavey is a pimp' one in a while, but the fake news redditors are rabid tonight!").
You find the whole situation hilarious and ask Billy updates on the guy who calls you a 'slut', but is hell bent in using the more obscure and ancient slang he can find, "Jezabel" is a great classic, but "Cockatrice", "Wish-wife" and "Mignote" are in your personal top 10. You three are still debating about "Half-virgin", does it mean the person uses one of their holes and the others are still untouched?
Michael, who's discovered the joys of trolling people, drops extremely vague hints during his lectures and checks the subreddit to see how the people there react; he's even managed to recognize a couple of his current students and a batch of people from the previous years (one is a PhD candidate and Michael is working him like a donkey for the unflattering comments he left).
Ever since the first photo dropped, there had been a spike of enrollment in his courses, which gives him the chance to terrorize and scar for life a bigger chunk of rich assholes who got admitted thanks to their family's wealth. The fact that he gets bonuses is the cherry on top, you two need all the pampering he can provide!

I didn’t post this on the wrong account you did-
Chapter 2: investigations and superstitions
——————————————
Inside the Watchtower, the League was fighting over who should go to Amity. Flash was the first one to speak up, slamming a fist on the table for everyone’s attention. “We need supers there! It would be safer considering we could properly fight without much risk!” Hal huffed out on the other side of the room, glaring at Barry.
“Are you kidding? The town has reports of possession! What’s gonna happen if a super gets possessed?” Everyone hushed at the thought of being possessed, the situation slowly sinking in.
“I will go.” Batman spoke up from the head of the table, all eyes turning to him.
“I can take some of the Robins with me, and disguise it as a charity event. I’m the most reasonable to go since I would have an alibi.”
The table went silent at the statement. Batman watched as the idea slowly set into everyone’s heads. “That might actually work. Afterall, he has kids who would be able to get close to Danny, and as they do that, Bats here would be able to get close with the locals and find out if it's truly just a kids trend.”
—————————————————-
“Yooo Danny, did you see that your video went viral?” Tucker casually dropped over the comms as Danny was patrolling around Amity.
“I’m sorry, it went what?” Danny halted in the hair for a minute before dipping down into the park. “Ya dude! The Zone has been trending for a while now, and someone found yours. Everyone has left comments saying that you’re the ‘chosen one’ cause so far you have the only clear footage inside.” Sam started to laugh over the comms as Danny let out a groan. “Dude! You accidentally made a parody of your parents!” This time Danny wasn’t able to react fast enough to the comment, slamming into a wall as a result.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. I did not.” He quickly sat down on a roof, pulling out his own phone before pulling up the video he posted only a week ago. He made it because tears in between the two realms were becoming more common, and as Phantom, he had already had to help a few people escape. It wasn’t meant to go viral, just help. Although getting attacked by Shulker at the end and leaving it in probably wasn’t the best idea. Danny also knew that his parents were still decently active on their channel, and while he could see their videos, Tucker had worked it out so that they could never see his. While he hadn’t watched their videos, Sam and Tucker did, explaining why they found the connection.
Do you think people will realize we are related?” Danny asked as he looked over the town. He fiddled with his phone as he did. It had now been two years now since the accident, and most of the rogues respected him enough now to leave him alone during the school day. He had finally gotten his grades back up to a decent level, though they still bothered him at night. “I doubt that they won’t. Your parents’ videos are already pretty popular since, even though they are wrong, they were the only videos explaining what the zone even was.” Tucker explained over the comms as Danny snapped out of his thoughts. “What if you did more though?” Sam cut into the conversation. “Did more of what?” Danny asked her, deciding that he could head home now.
“Make more parodies of your parents' old videos! You can correct their theories while also drawing attention. And by not outright saying your relation to them, you can become this online cryptid of the Zone.” Sam explained, clicking being heard on her side of the line as she started typing something.
“You're telling us that Danny should make a youtube channel about the Zone? Isn’t the whole reason we haven’t posted about it before is to keep it safe?” Tucker asked Sam, confusion lacing his voice. “Well why not! We obviously don’t give away the major bits and pieces, like the fact that ancients are real, and maybe nothing about phantom for safety, but we can explain how it's dangerous, and why people shouldn’t actively try to find the zone. Sure Danny’s first video might confuse them, since he willingly went inside, but if we take it down and start anew, we could make safety psa’s on what to do if it does happen!” Sam exclaimed with an excited voice, Danny’s gears grinding in his mind at the implications. “I think that’s a good idea… Tucker, how fast do you think you can take the old video down?” Danny phased through his wall, landing in his room before transforming back and rushing to his computer.
“I can get in down in ten minutes, do we want a proper channel name this time?” Tucker replied, clicking now resounding from his end. “Oh, oh! Call it ‘Into The Zone!’ It can add to the cryptid vibes that you're gonna try to give off.”Danny grinned as he opened YouTube,“Do it!” He called out over the call, watching as the video he posted only a week ago disappeared, the fifty thousand views it had gathered disappearing down the drain with it as well.
“We need to script the next video, and find a video of your parents’ that we can take from and fix.” Sam said, pulling up his parents' old channel as she went through their videos to find one they could steal. “We should probably make the psa video first, a channel intro of sorts that explains the danger of the zone before they watch anything else.” The trio set to work writing a quick script, planning out the new channel late into the night.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Battsssss! We’ve got a problem!” Flash called out, the youtube video he had been reviewing now gone from his screen.

Things I want to see in TOH season three but are mostly fanfic ideas
-Hunter and Amity having a heart to heart over terrible childhoods and toxic mentors
-Hexsquad magic swap. Please.
-Hunter grimwalker reveal but everyone’s reaction is just “Wtf is a grimwalker” since none of them are interested enough in that kind of stuff to know anything about it
-Luz’s old peers and classmates reacting to Weird Kid Luz suddenly having an entire friend group of the coolest and strangest kids that would die for her.
Bonus if said popular kids try to convince Amity to ditch the hexsquad to join them by talking shit about Luz and the squad and Amity either snaps back at them so cold and salty that they lose everyone’s respect right there and then or she has to be physically held back by Willow to prevent her beating them up.
Bonus bonus if one of Luz’s bullies tries to get their flirt on with Hunter and Hunter immediately shuts that shit down because they were mean to his friends they’re nowhere near his level
-Willow keeps destroying ripped gymbros at arm wrestling and becomes a legend as some unspeakably strong teenager. The group tries to dissipate the rumours and fame by having Willow pretend to lose in arm wrestling to Gus, but it ends up backfiring since now everyone thinks Gus is some secretly ripped twelve year old
-Gus becoming a local cryptid after some teens see him sleepwalking in the woods with glowing blue eyes
-The rest of the witches also becoming cryptids when they keep trying to practice magic in the woods at night and keep getting caught
-B-plot where the palismen roaming free leads to animal control showing up and continuously trying (and failing) to catch them. A joke is made about “Wow, all these wooden animal staffs in front of this house sure do look a lot like the animals we’re trying to catch!”
-All of the local wildlife immediately love Hunter. He’s a Disney princess.

The Cryptid Collection
NO, THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE! THE TIMING JUST WORKED OUT THAT WAY BECAUSE OUR ANNIVERSARY IS TDOV, WHICH WAS MARCH 31ST THIS YEAR. (￣y▽,￣)╭
In case you missed, it, yesterday, we officially launched The Cryptid Collection!
Since it was the weekend and a major holiday, we decided to put off talking much about it outside of our website. But now it's Monday, so it's time to talk cryptids (even though we everyone is distracted by boops).
The Cryptid Collection is a collaborative design project created by co-owners Eli and Krista (hi, it's us, we're the main contributors to this Tumblr) exclusively for Shapeshifters. The collection has four main components: binders and sports bras made with fabrics of our own design, the fabrics which you can purchase for your own projects through Spoonflower, the vintage style travel posters, and the couture fashion looks which you can see in person at fashion shows across New England this year which will be listed on our Events Page as we confirm them.
While the collection was inspired by cryptids in general, we decided to spotlight six in particular: Mothman, Champ, the Jackalope, the Squonk, the Jersey Devil, and the Fresno Nightcrawler.
We'll talk more about them and why we chose those cryptids in particular later in the week. Today, we want to talk about the who, what, where, when, why, and how of The Cryptid Collection and cryptids in general.
You may be asking: Why a fashion collection?
It was originally Eli's idea. It had been something they'd been fantasizing about for a few years now, almost as long as Shapeshifters has been in business. The realization that it was something we could potentially really do didn't come until Fall of 2023, though, when we started talking about how to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We wanted to do something special, something that we'd never done before, and Eli decided it was time for both of us to finally admit that, after ten years of making and designing clothing and and graphic art, we might actually be qualified to call ourselves and present ourselves as Designers.
"It’s wild. I decided this year that I was going to commit to being the person I’ve fantasized about becoming. Terrifying." —Eli
So, a themed fashion collection.
But while it was their first and only answer when Krista asked what they wanted the theme to be, Eli didn't come up with the cryptid idea entirely on their own. Anyone who's been following Krista's artblr, @3ofpents, has probably seen the vintage travel posters she's been designing since Summer of 2023. Originally inspired by a book of color palettes from print media through the 20th century, the posters started out as a personal challenge to get Krista drawing more often.
The very first poster she designed was for the New Jersey Pine Barrens and the Jersey Devil, inspired by the state she grew up in. But the one that Eli cites as the one that really got them thinking was for our home state: Burlington, VT's own Champ.
"The tagline for that one was You’ll never swim alone. The friendly, ominous, terrible, wonderful mystery embedded in those four words is a vibe I think about a lot." —Eli
Krista's choice of cryptids as a subject for her posters, and the well of inspiration she drew from in designing her parts of this collection, stemmed from her childhood in New Jersey. While the Jersey Devil isn't as popular and well-known as some other regional cryptids like Mothman and the Loch Ness Monster, it is a huge part of New Jersey culture. Every kid in the state grows up learning some version of the Jersey Devil's origin story; and the local indie, alt, underground, punk cultures slap Jersey Devil imagery on their posters, logos, and products the way some states use their state shapes.
"In New Jersey, the story of the Jersey Devil holds a similar kind of legendary local pride as the story of George Washington crossing the Delaware River on Christmas Eve to take the British soldiers camping on the other side by surprise." —Krista
Eli's inspiration is coming in a separate post; cryptids can't be anything but queer, as far as they're concerned.
In the coming days we've got much more to say about various individual cryptids! Stay tuned.

AA3 spoilers: I've always assumed Godot died at the prosecutors bench, due to him being a barely functioning heavily medicated poison victim with a stab wound that went without heat, medication, or food for as long as Maya did. But I'm very intrigued at the thought of what a man who has truly lost all purpose like him would do if he survived. Do you have any thoughts on his future? Will he pick a third even dumber name?
Sup friend. I'm actually a "Diego lives" truther 'til the day I die. Because what's the point of a redemption arc/realization like his if he immediately dies anyway? (Though I wouldn't be surprised if he passed out in the lobby and ended up in the hospital, he HAS been pushing himself a lot the past few days.)
The thing is, I really don't think Diego has lost all purpose. I think HE thinks that, but it's much more compelling that he now has to snap himself out of that mindset-- the same delusion that made him pick up "Godot" in the first place. He's got a crime to atone for now, yes, but he's also got a Maya who has FIRMLY forgiven him and welcomed him into her circle. A Phoenix who's also come to understand him and wants to know the man behind the mask. He can't get Mia back, but you also can't tell me that she would want him to keep suffering for her. She'd want him to work on accepting himself, dealing with his grief, getting the therapy he so desperately needs, and enjoying what's left of the life he does have, even if it's not the one either of them wanted.
(As it turns out I wrote this fic exactly...)
Personally, I think (and thus in all of my fanworks and suppositions on the topic) Diego gets out of the system pretty quickly. I'm a huge proponent of any and all "Weird Uncle Diego" scenarios, where he's welcomed by and like family to the Feys. I like him eventually embracing his other great love and opening a coffee shop, becoming a weird local cryptid in the legal scene. I want him to find peace and I also want him to take up a future that @tanaleth and I gushed about and have named "the ghostwife meta" in which he and Mia have an unconventional, but still very devoted relationship for the rest of his life.
#ace attorney#gg answers#godot#diego armando#look diego almost certainly wishes he would die sooner than later#but i think it's important he gets the chance to really follow through with his atonement#not necessarily for the uh legal troubles either but for his own self-worth and growth#also consider: it is way funnier if he's still around to troll people#miego#i support weird uncle diego in every form#t&t spoilers#aa3 spoilers

yeah i know spider, deer, and bug pokemon exist but this isn't about that so shut up. we're here PURELY for the✨AESTHETIC✨ and ⚡VIBES⚡ -
there's a whole-ass set of hcs below the cut, sobb:
angel COULD'VE been a gardevoir like his twin sister but he got too deep in mafia violence "pokemon battles", especially after his exposure to drugs a "dawn stone". however his rash nature makes him risky in battles and resulted in him being disowned "traded" away several times. most recently he has been pimped out "retired" to the brothel "day-care" system in lieu of battling, but to date he has not sired any eggs
likewise, alastor has also found himself loaned out to horny jail the day-care system. unlike angel, he is not here for breeding purposes but rather social rehabilitation after spending years terrorizing several localities due to his status as an overpowered, feral, invasive mega-evolved cryptid with a penchant for "provoking" conflicts with trainers who find themselves drawn to his unusual coloration. holds an apparent vendetta against humans, and thus enjoys inspiring fear and awe in them.
10000000% a domestic pokemon, niffty belongs to the day-care center, where she has lived her entire relatively short life. bc she has never touched grass, she gets EXTREMELY excited about interacting with other pokemon and learning EVERYTHING there is to know about them/their travels/their histories/their trainers/their preference in incense. this can make her a bit overwhelming at times however, and has made it difficult for her to establish pokemon friendships in the past (for example, the first time she saw angel, she insisted that he was an unusual looking gardevoir - this was bc he was the first ever gallade she'd ever encountered. this has been cleared up between them now). furthermore, up until recently niffty coped by engaging in behaviors that humans would find charming. but then alastor came along and, unable to stomach the sight of a younger version of himself ingratiating herself to humans, immediately chose to take niffty under his skirts and tutelage - this both surprised and terrorised EVERYONE, who thought the big dark scary gardevoir would surely eat their precious little kirlia. now they are inseparable, bonded and sychronised. much to everyone's chagrin however, niffty appears to have picked up a streak of Mischief™ from alastor but he has yet to become tame through their association.
