Grumpus Headcanon: Claws

Some Headcanons about the different types of claws I gave them

Filbo - Normal painted claws that are easy to damage but are quite sharp. These claws retract under the skin of the grumpus.

Wambus - Long claws that are good for digging dirt. It may seem helpful but it can be an annoyance from time to time since he can accidentally scratch himself or other grumpuses. These claws retract halfway and can grow fast if left unchecked. ( he hates cutting his nails)

Beffica - Sharp and thin claws that can easily slice through hard materials like metal. these claws can also be an annoyance if she wants to scratch her fur. these claws cannot retract.

Gramble - Small and round claws that may not look harmful but they are enough to break through the skin underneath the fur. these claws can be seen through Gramble's fur since he plucked his fur out due to stress.

Triffany - slightly curled Claws are actually the bones that can break out from underneath the tip of her paws. these claws will retract once the skin heals and it slightly hurts.

Wiggle - Very short claws that are only visible due to them being painted green. These claws are harmless and will not hurt any Grump.

Chandlo - Long Like claws that are like wambus but he actually cuts them down or trims them so he doesn't hurt Snorpy. these claws however are not retractable.

Snorpy - Broken Sharp claws from biting them off due to stress. these claws hurt to retract due to the sharp edges around them.

Cromdo - Thick and curly like claws that are used for gripping onto walls or surfaces he can reach. These claws are hard to break but hard to retract back in.

Shelda - Very thin and easy fragile claws. They take a while to retract and She allows them to grow healthy.

Floofty - Long and very sharp painted claws that can dig through someones entire body. Floofty usually scratches at the table when working on something and they cant retract these claws.

Eggabell - short pink painted claws that can lightly scratch a grumpus. these claws can be retracted and she keeps them trimmed everyday.

Lizbert - Damaged and sharp claws from all the adventures and hunting she would do. She has broken a few nails or more but she is proud of it because it shows all her hard work.

Clumby - Sharp, thin, and thick claws that are enough to dig through her desk and everytime she wants the journalist to pay attention she grabs her chalkboard and scratches it a lot. She does not retract them.

Bronica - She doesn't use her claws often but her claws can break out from her paws. though since her claws are longer and more sharper than dull. it makes her bleed a bit.

Alegander - He doesn't have time to cut his claws and they have grown all the way down to his sides along with his messy fur. somebody give this man nail clippers.

"I will do all it takes to make our future better."

Introducing:

A Mayor's Promise

"I will make sure we all survive this, I promise you as Mayor!"

The Base EGO tied to Filbo Fiddlepie, who in this little AU I have decided to create like right now lmao is one of the main grumpuses responsible for the excursion to Snaktooth Island! In this little post I will just go expand on the details further and such! But right now, EGO information:

Type: Gloom (Slash)

EGO Resource Cost: 5 Gloom

Coin Value: 25 - 32

Effects: [Indiscriminate]

Targets up to 5 targets. If the target is an ally, damage is nullified and instead turns into temporary health gained instead. The temporary health lasts for 3 turns unless it is damaged enough to be removed.

If the target ends up being an enemy (be it a bugsnax or an enemy grumpus), damage is dealt and the enemy is afflicted with a debuff similar to Weaknesses Analyzed, where the enemy's affinities are changed, but this time they are all moved to neutral (No strenght/weakness against) for the turn called Mayor's Oath

Passive: When activating Gloom Res., 2 allies with the lowest speeds get 1 haste for the remainder of the turn the Abs. Res. Was activated.

Attack Description: Filbo's attire changes to a ceremonial gown once the EGO is used. Filbo takes off his sash and tosses it towards the air, soon expanding and circling down onto the randomly selected targets, before soon it wraps around the targets and squishes them inside.

With that out of the way, below the cut I'll expand a bit more on the AU itself and include Filbo's full EGO picture without the border! (If you want me to expand on something under the cut or above, please let me know! I'd love to discuss this if given permission)

General AU Info:

Now then, this won't make too much sense without prior knowledge of the Project Moon Universe, but I will try to simplify it enough so that it fits within the Bugsnax Universe without needing constant reference between the two!

With that being said, here's info regarding

The Snaktooth Company AU

The Expedition

The expedition to Snaktooth Island wasn't simply to just go there to establish a new life for the Grumpuses themselves, but it was for something else. It was rumored that the island contained not only treasures, but relics of the past that could be used for multiple things, really. Advancing scientific fields, improving lifestyles of the common grumpus, bragging rights or a pretty penny, you get the gist of it. Because of it, many grumpuses want to head there themselves, but not everyone has managed to come back alive.

CNN

In this AU, it isn't a Journalism Company, but rather something else entirely. CNN is now a company in charge of maintaining the peace in the main island, not via police work though, but rather by working in the shadows to ensure things like cryptids, monsters, or powerful relics are common knowledge to the public. After all if such knowledge came to the public, it would probably lead to riots or worse! Because of this, CNN is in charge of preparing the expedition units to head to Snaktooth Island to gather whatever they can from there.

Snaktooth Islands

In this, Snaktooth Island isn't just one singular island, but rather comprises of many. Why haven't they shown in satellites, maps, and other media? Well outside the censoring done by the government and such, it's also because in truth, finding the islands is rather difficult than simply washing up shore unannounced. Outside of some key factors, the islands typically resonate with a grumpus, and typically only they have a vague feeling of it's location. Sure any grumpus can force a trip towards one of the islands, but that wouldn't really get you much, since the islands change according to the Grumpuses within. Additionally, the bugsnax are somewhat the same, but are more aggressive than before. They will attack any grumpus that comes within their range and if they manage to, they'll feed themselves onto them. They will repeat this until the grumpus dies and becomes a part of the island. (Something only the Journalist can remedy, but more on that later)

The Expedition Members

The Grumpuses on the expedition all have a unique heightened compatability to the bugsnax, each also has a past that the islands would naturally resonate with, and so each grumpus was scouted to join the party. By none other than 3 different Grumpuses:

Filbo, Elizbert, and Clumby

The three Grumpuses each are affiliated with CNN in one way or another.

Filbo was sponsored by CNN to fund their career as mayor in the main island, in this AU, the Grumpuses don't meet prior to Snaktooth outside obvious exceptions (Grumpuses that are related to one another, in a relationship, so on and so forth), and Filbo managed to become Mayor prior to this thanks to CNN pulling some strings in the background.

Elizbert is a member of one of the CNN branches, and was one of the few Grumpuses that brought forth the main plan to the higher-ups. Elizbert was one of the main players in this operation, being the one to scout for Grumpuses in her circles (and Eggabells) to find potential Grumpuses to help them with this.

Clumby, although considered a higher-up by CNN, much prefers to be able to see things by herself rather to leave it to reports. Clumby will act as a guide to the islands, having been a previous survivor of them herself, she knows some things that would prove to help the expedition exponentially.

The Journalist

The Journalist is... Well, I won't spoil TOO much regarding the Journalist's role (mostly because in the source material the character the Journalist replaces has their backstory shrouded in mystery) , BUT I can share some things that still matter!

The Journalist is the Manager of the expedition, despite them not being a long time CNN member they had a unique trait that none of the others did.

They still have their snax allergy, however it will be a MUCH needed ability to ensure no grumpus dies during the expeditions. The reasoning for this is that they, in a way, rewind the snakification of the grumpuses that are in the expedition, but as a consequence the Journalist themselves will suffer through the usual allergy reactions portrayed at the start of Bugsnax (although for the sake of narrative, the only hole they'll puke it out will just be their mouth, the rest is just gonna be allergy pains)

The Relics

Like I mentioned before, Snaktooth Islands have relics within them that will replace the purpose of Golden Boughs from the source material. Much like them, they are items of great power that will become greatly useful to those that have possession of them. However instead of being golden branches, instead they'll be... Well.

Bug Organs.

I mean, they LOOK like bug organs, but they aren't ENTIRELY bug organs- look let me put it this way:

The Snaktooth Islands, although still parasitic in nature, they spawn Bugsnax differently. At the heart of each island, there will be a sort of temple that while heavily protected by Bugsnax, will also have unique traits depending on the Grumpus the island has resonated with. To put as an example, in an Island that has resonated with Filbo, the temple may have references to mayor votings in the past eras, be it the crowning of kings, generals, tribe leaders, you name it! The Bugsnax within would also somewhat resemble this too, no they won't outright be the dead mayor figures, those would be the Bosssnax, but they will assume the foods of the mayors that they preferred. Perhaps the King enjoyed Steak Stews, maybe a Bugsnax will become one, perhaps the General enjoyed a nice bowl of rice and beans, so a bugsnax will be one, so on and so forth.

Bosssnax

Character Swaps

The Bosssnax will replace the role of the Abnormality boss fights in the source material. In this AU, the Bosssnax will all have been previous grumpuses that had attempted to enter the islands, but failed to escape alive. Naturally each bosssnax will be heavily connected to the grumpus prior, be it in mannerisms, food type, so on and so forth. Now, despite it being called bugsnax, I think for the sake of creative liberty, I will include other animal types if I can't find a fitting bug, but I'm sure that won't come up too much.

Now, I already have some grumpuses planned to swap for respective Limbus Company characters, but I'll admit, I don't have ALL of them set in stone just yet. That being said, I'll include the ones I have here (they may be changed in the future):

The Journalist - Dante

Clumby - Vergilious

Alegander Jamfoot - Charon

Filbo Fiddlepie - Sinclair

Beffica Winklesnoot - Rodion

Gramble Gigglefunny - Gregor

Wiggle Wigglebottom - Ryoshū

Wambus Troubleham - Meursault

Triffany Lottablog - Outis

Floofty Fizzlebean - Faust

Snorpington Fizzlebean - Yi Sang

Chandlo Funkbun - Don Quixote

Cromdo Face - Heathcliff

Shelsy Woolbag - Hong Lu

Elizbert Megafig - Ishmael

Eggabell Batternugget - ??? (Honestly this kinda throws a wrench into things BUT I'll figure something out for her- Maybe Yuri in a what if world, idk-)

how bugsnax characters would react to getting into a fistfight (as chosen by someone who's barely made a dent in the game)

beffica - goes for the throat. by the end she's covered in blood and her opponent is in the hospital

cromdo - has all the talk of a fighter but takes one hit that's not even that hard and collapses sobbing. one slap and hes done

gramble - runs away but maybe throws a bottle or something as he leaves. it does nothing. probably completely misses. however if the fight is near the opponent's house he might steal their pets on the way out

chandlo - refuses to fight, in fact invites the opponent to his house for a couple of cold ones

clumby - says she's either "too sophisticated" or busy to fight but if you persuade her to she also puts the fucker in hospital

eggabell - 50/50 chance of her either refusing to fight or fucking going to town. the best part is she knows which wounds will be hardest to fix

lizbert - pays her opponent to hit themselves and lie down pretending to be in pain so she can go home and eat cake. only actually fights if eggabell is involved, in which case opponent should probably write their will

filbo - only agrees to fight if defending someone else but just keeps dodging or running away and hopes that the opponent will get bored and leave

floofty - points out that the opponent has actually been standing on a trap they stole from snorpy the whole time and watches gleefully as they get beartrapped or something. leaves them to bleed out

snorpy - gets chandlo to carry him away, or if the invitation has been made, is very excited to participate in the drinking of the cold ones

journalist - smacks the shit out of them with a book, makes some cringe ass joke about them "getting schooled" before walking away having done almost no actual damage

triffany - also only fights if defending someone else, won't do anything more direct but might push them off a roof or something in the heat of the moment, however might actually call the police on herself if she seriously hurts them

wambus - pitchfork to the stomach. job done

wiggle - making a run for it and singing beautifully as she leaves. might also throw a bottle but actually has good aim. if she does do any damage she'll write a song about it later and it'll go straight to number one, which is the real pain

sprout - kills the opponent immediately /j

Bugsnax headcanon: If grumpuses are jet pilots

After playing Ace Combat series for a long time, I was thinking of a headcanon of which aircrafts the grumpuses would be manning. FYI Those who are absent wouldn’t be willing to be a a pilot due to several reasons. Endgame spoilers warning!

Filbo: He would be pretty much a YH equivalent to PJ (Crow 3) from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, as he’ll show up in a F-16C “Fighting Falcon” (multirole). However, despite the aircraft’s well-rounded capabilities, it doesn’t really help much considering Filbo would pass out from g-LOC. Or worse, feel nauseous while piloting. He’s better off as an WSO (weapon systems officer) while the Journalist does the job for him.

Wambus: F-4 Phantom II. Despite being an old multirole fighter (like the pilot as he’s hitting 50′s and his body is no longer able to withstand such high amount of g-force), it makes up for its payload and great range while performing well for air superiority and taking down ground targets. By any chance, Triffany would be his WSO (kinda like Monarch and Prez from Project Wingman).

Chandlo: For someone who want an attacker that withstands lots of punishment while causing the most damage as possible, he’ll look no further as the A-10 Thunderbolt II (albeit modified into a 2-seater) is ready to suppress ground forces while turning them into swiss cheese thanks to its gatling gun. The only downside, however, is the mobility at higher altitudes as it kinda handles like a boat with wings. Thankfully, it comes equipped with reinforced armor to compensate the shortcomings. As usual, Snorpy will be his WSO, especially due to the latter being prone to anxiety when piloting an aircraft even if he’s good at it.

Elizabert and Eggabell: SU-47 “Berkut” and SU-37 “Terminator”. Fittingly, they’ll be pretty much a dead ringer to AC6′s “Garuda Team” in addition to working together to take down targets: Either confusing the enemy by flying in synchronization or one of them acting as a bait while the other would pursue the target. Like “Gelb Team” from AC0, they’re equipped with specialized missiles that are fired backwards while sending them a lethal “No U”. Y’all may wonder how the hell did Liz got her paws on a prototype with forward-swept wings (presumably a fully-functional replica since only one real-life SU-47 was ever made before the actual project was cancelled). While Eggabell ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she’ll do the best to keep up with Liz as long the latter’s aircraft doesn’t let her down.

By the way, as a nod to the endgame, they’ll be known under the squadron name “Hydra Team”.

Alegander: Surprise, surprise! Considering his organization’s secrets were being revealed by the Journalist, the events have led him to snap to the point of becoming obsessed in taking down the latter (totally not a poor man’s equivalent of Project Wingman’s Crimson 1). In a similar vein to Anderi “Akula" Markov from AC: Assault Horizon (minus the game’s heavy scripting and plot armor), he’ll whip out a heavily refurbished SU-57 “Felon”. A cutting-edge stealth fighter which has excellent firepower, maneuverability, defense, speed and “quick maneuver air-to-air missiles” that will put a hell of a fight against any target. However, due to his age he can’t handle a such high amount of g-force while suffering from “greyout” when pushing his aircraft too hard.

“Yo Snorp-dawg, (you) still alive?”

wouldn't it be more dangerous on filbo? he isnt Himself anymore, there's no connection to any of u and he'll just try attack if u come close. ur better off doing it on someone who is still mentally sound and that means ur brother floofty. better for the overall safety of the group

Filbo is idiotic, slow, and the least dangerous. He is the least likely to kill someone if he somehow breaks loose.

"Floofty, they have a point, we need to do it with Snorpy, he's the only one that we KNOW won't cause any damage!-"

... I.. I-I know. I know it is the safest option, but I can't. I-I cannot do that.

Floofts...

The Snaktooth Island Disappearances: Chapter 5

Warnings: Horror, major character death, non-explicit character death

AO3 Version

“The following documents are classified.

This is [&/:$):?/?/&@] writing for [\£?%], reporting on the disappearances on Snaktooth Island. While making efforts to get into the home of Wambus Troubleham and Triffany Lottablog, an investigator found something that the rest of the team had not noticed by that point. Stuck on a root on the river bank, the investigator found a journal bound with thick leather, and removed it from the water. It had some water damage, but a professional was able to recover most of the pages and decipher the entries. The author’s handwriting is a match for Snorpington Fizzlebean’s, however every spot where there’d be a signature was thickly written over. We note that Mr. Fizzlebean has a history of paranoia and psychosis, and we take these entries as lighter and less valuable than others.

The entries will be copied and documented now.”

Year #3, month #10 day #15

Floofty has returned to Snaxburg today. While it is annoying that I now have to deal with them around town, I suppose I shall value the security of having everyone here.

I have noticed something strange happening. I spend very little of my time outside, however I have noticed that the sun has started setting earlier. I do not know when it has been rising, as my sleep schedule has not changed, but I know the sun does not set at seven. I am aware that winter is coming soon, but I do not remember the daylight cycle changing this drastically. I will continue to monitor this.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10 day #16

A cruel prank was played on me today! Beffica disguised herself as [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] while I was in a time of weakness and used it to try and get my secrets out of me- and she did! If she tells Chandlo, I don’t know what I will do! I’m hoping Scarla is preventing her from doing such.

On the lighter list of happenings, Eggabell has returned, unfortunately without Lizbert. Having her here will be useful, I can’t trust most of these grumps not to get into trouble without a doctor around. But I still wonder what happened to the other one.

I have no doubts that the daylight cycle is getting shorter. It has set before 8pm yet again, and I believe it is getting later to rise. However, it is not severe enough to be cause for concern yet. I will continue to keep note of it.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10 day #17

The sun rose at noon and set at 6pm. I knew something was wrong and only today was it severe enough that all of town had noticed it! Because our schedules cannot simply be cut down to fit a six hour day, [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] and I have set up lanterns around town in order to provide light during the early and later hours.

What on earth is causing this to happen?! Winter alone could not cause such a major shift in daylight, and it is not even winter yet! Is the grumpinati attempting to snuff out the sun? What do they expect to cause other than complete economic and ecological collapse?

I’ve shared my concerns with [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] about his morning jogs. He said he’ll try to switch his times to afternoon runs if it stops me from worrying about it, and I hate to change his schedule, but I AM worried about it.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10 day #18

Today was the same as yesterday. Filbo assisted [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] and I in lighting all of the lanterns, which I appreciate, and I feel it is now time for me to bunker down.

I have noticed that, during times of darkness, I cannot see outside of Snaxburg. Not stars, not the volcano, nothing. As though it is not only attempting to snuff out the sun, but all light around here.

I don’t like it a bit. I feel as though this might be bigger than the Grumpinati, or perhaps just their biggest scheme yet. But why wrap EVERYONE on the island into it?

Unless… It is bigger than just the island?

Is Maple okay?

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“The name “Maple” here is in reference to the eldest Fizzlebean sibling, Mapleline Fizzlebean, known more publicly by her actress name, Mapleline Hollyleaf. She is yet to be informed of her younger siblings’ disappearances and presumed deaths.”

Year #3, month #10 day #19

The grumpinati’s plan has reached its worst yet. The sun did not rise today.

How does someone make the sun disappear entirely-!? It does not make any sense! Not Triffany nor Floofty have scientific explanations, and I cannot even fathom how the grumpinati could do this!

Not to mention, it is unnaturally and extremely cold wherever there is no light. I have lanterns and candles in the mill, but if I leave for more than a second, there is such a terrible chill.

[-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] is helping Filbo keep the fire going and keep everyone together. I cannot be seen outside of the mill during this, but I have the stockpile of candles and lanterns, so I assume I will have to share them if this darkness does not heal itself.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10, day #20

It is the second day of all natural light being completely gone. The mill feels unnaturally large when I am alone in it, and I’m starting to wish we did not sleep on opposite sides of it. I wish we slept together. It’d be warmer that way.

I was called to the fire at noon to give lanterns and candles to those in need of them. While it depleted my supply, I know it would be selfish of me to refuse.

I am worried about what the grumpinati might be planning to do with this darkness. Are they going to send something to get us? Are they attempting to make us go mad? If I were not a hypersomniac, I feel as though I’d be struggling terribly to sleep. I cannot imagine what Gramble is experiencing.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“The entries for day 21 and 22 are missing.”

Year #3, month #10 day #23

I’ve slept away most of my days lately. I cannot shake off a terrible chill, and while I would like to go to the fire, I cannot put myself out there.

The mill is especially lonely now. [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] comes to check on me, but I believe I’ve been asleep during several of these times. I wish that he would wake me.

I only noticed Scarla’s absence today. How long have they been away for? And what are they doing?

Worse so, I am beginning to get hunger pangs.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“The lower half of this page was covered in unintelligible scribbles.”

Year #3, month #10 day #24

Sauce was rationed out today. [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] brought me several bottles of chocolate to sustain myself, and he spent more time with me than previous days. Likely because he caught me when I was not half asleep.

As it would turn out, yes, Scarla has left to get bugsnax. But they left two days ago and have not returned. Filbo said he wanted to go after them, but is that really a good idea?

Floofty and Triffany have supposedly been trying to find an answer, but I don’t believe this situation has one that is considered “reasonable.”

I noticed him shaking more than usual. Is he. Scared?

Perhaps that is why he stayed inside today.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“There was a page between the previous entry and the following one that was covered entirely in scrawls and scribbles that were too waterlogged to decipher.”

Year #3, month #10 day #25

Nobody was outside at the fire today, and when I looked outside, I realized there was no fire to be at.

Did Filbo go after Scarla? Is he out there, right now, looking for them?

I can tell [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] is uneasy, but he’s not showing me that he is. He’s never liked staying stuck inside, and he’s been staring out of the windows a lot. But he’s not staring in the way of someone who wants to be outside. He’s more. petrified.

I’ve found myself trembling because of the cold. I’ve never truly been scared of the dark, moreso of what could be in it, but I know that I am safely inside, so why am I so scared as well? I’m not alone anymore.

We had a long conversation today. Only slightly about this situation, and more about anything else. I don’t think he wants to talk about it. I don’t either.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“From here forward, the handwriting becomes noticeably lower quality.”

Year #3, month #10 day #26

The fire has been out for two days now, and I've only been doing more and more sleeping. [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] can’t sleep as easy as I can, I can hear him pacing all the time. I don’t like seeing him so troubled.

He came to me and held my paw for a little bit. I thought the touch of another grumpus would be warmer than this horrible cold, but he was shaking so much. Or was I the one shaking? I could not tell. Maybe we both were.

The grumpinati best let up this horrid scheme soon. I can’t stand the dark corners of this building, and even I am starting to find being indoors damning.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10 day #27

I woke up to see [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] staring outside of the window again, but today, at something very specific. We can see most of the rest of town from here, Floofty and Gramble being exceptions, so I couldn’t dream of what he was staring at until. I saw it for myself.

Shelda’s gazebo is no longer lit. I can’t even see the silhouette of it anymore, much less of her.

When I’d joined his side and noticed, he started crying. He’s spent today very quietly, and it isn’t like him, but I can’t tell him anything better. Shelda was like his mother.

I have to wonder about Floofty, and, if this darkness is bigger than the island, about Maple. Is MY family safe?

Please let this be over soon.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

Year #3, month #10 day #28

We had a long talk about things that were meaningful to us today. I don’t know how, but [-.-. .... .- -. -.. .-.. —] had a spark in him today. Some kind of motivation, and he wanted to have a good conversation with me. He’s been pacing around while talking, and even if he isn’t smiling, he seems very determined to do something. I couldn’t dream of what, I don’t know what could be done about this, but he seems happy about it.

It’s been forever since I’ve left my bed, but I got up to talk to him today. Paced a little as well.

The darkness cannot hurt us if we do not let it. I might be scared, but we are together.

[... -. --- .-. .--. -.--]

“The start of the following entry is in a different handwriting. It matches up with Chandlo Funkbun’s.”

I know you don’t like me touching your stuff but I know you’re gonna be more upset if I don’t write this down

It’s like, 6am, and I can see a light on in her hut, so I’m gonna go try to see her and get her to come here to us. I think it’d be better if there were more of us, y’know?

Cause maybe what happened to Shelda happened because she was alone.

I should be back before you’re awake, but I’m writing this just in case I’m still talking to her. If not when you’re up, I should be back by ten.

Love you, Snorpy.

“It returns to Mr. Fizzlebean’s handwriting at the bottom of the page, though messy.”

HE ISN’T BACK

DAY #30

HE DIDNT COME BACK

DAY #31

HE DIDNT COME BACK

DAY #32

HE DIDNT COME BACK

“The entries end here.

We do not know why this journal was discarded into the river, and unfortunately, it has not yielded anything more useful than previous findings.

The investigators will continue to do their best to find what they think will be useful. The disappearances on Snaktooth Island remain unsolved, but we hope to close the case soon.

This is [&/:$):?/?/&@] signing off.”

As the typewriter finished clicking, the writer removed her paws from it, taking a heavy sigh. She rubbed her eyes with one paw as she picked the piece of paper out and put it on a pile with the rest, ready to be bound and put into the case folder.

“I cannot believe this case has gone on for so long-“ She groaned, “Thirteen grumpuses do not just go disappearing without a trace, there must be something that we are missing.”

A knock behind her caught her attention.

“Is this Mia-Asma’s office?” She heard a voice call out.

“That’d be me, come in.” Putting her paws together, the dark gray grumpus waited for the other person to enter.

Inside stepped a pudgy yellow grumpus with very round glasses. “Heeey, Mia! How’s docking the case going?” They asked.

“Ungodly frustrating.” She crossed her arms. “You’ve seen it too, Maaz. This case makes no sense.”

Maaz chuckled, looking away. “Yeah, this one uh… it’s a doozy.” They picked at the camera that hung around their neck. “I haven’t had a single thing to take pictures of for this case.” Mia-asma and Maaz worked for the same team of investigators, with Mia being the one putting together documents, and Maaz being a crime scene photographer. That case was increasingly frustrating for one, and incredibly devoid for the other.

“I’m hoping that this last house they're pursuing ends up bearing fruit.” The gray grump walked away, getting back to her desk.

“Oh, yesterday when I was at the scene, they managed to get in.” Maaz said, looking up. “But, they didn’t find anything downstairs, and apparently the upstairs is locked up tight.”

“Are you joking?” Mia looked over her shoulder. “We have hit a thousand walls with this case.”

“I know! And I don’t like it either, but we can’t do anything-“

“FOGWIND!”

Mia-asma jumped at the yelling of her last name, looking past Maaz into the hallway. Suddenly, a small, white grumpus burst into the room, rushing up to her. “Mia, copy these entries down, immediately!” He thrust a book into her hands.

“Huh-?” She took it and looked down at it. It was a thick, leather bound journal. “What is-“

“Mia, we solved the case. Or, this woman did.” He put his hand on the book, staring into her eyes. “It’s Mrs. Lottablog’s. She had the answer.”

Cartoon Creatures (Cars Parody) Trilogy Cast Revamped

Cartoon Creatures 1: "In a world where the towns are peopled with cartoon creatures, and even the bugs are mini cartoon creatures, a young ambitious racer called Kiwi Cookie is a star. On his way to an important event, he has to stop in the little town of Radiator Springs after he accidentally damages the road and is forced to repair it. He finds living in a community oddly endearing, making true friends and beginning to realize there's more in life than winning."

Cartoon Creatures 2: "Racer Kiwi Cookie and his grumpus buddy, Gramble, have had their share of adventures together but nothing like what they experience when they head overseas for the first-ever World Grand Prix. While Kiwi Cookie has his eye on the road to the championship, Gramble takes a detour to international espionage when he meets TBD master spy Gummy String Cookie and stunning spy-in-training Wiggle Wigglebottom."

Cartoon Creatures 3: "Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast cartoon creatures, the legendary Kiwi Cookie finds himself pushed out of the sport that he loves. Hoping to get back in the game, he turns to Nitroman, an eager young technician who has his own plans for winning.

Thank you all so so so so SO MUCH for the motivation! Now, for what you all have been waiting for.

Even the toughest of grumpuses can crack.

By Bugsnax-liker

WARNING, POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR THE GAME.

It was all happening so fast. One moment, it was a big celebration party for the success of getting everyone back to snaxburg, and next thing you know, the volcano erupts, and bugsnaxs are trying to kill everyone. Wambus and Triffany were the final people to help before they could all get out of there. Wambus gripped his gardening hoe in anger, doing his best to wack away all of the parasitic foods. Triffany however..she was losing hope. Infact…she had given in. She suddenly drops the cactus that she was using to defend herself.

“Triffy?” Wambus questioned. “Well…no sense delayin’ the inevitable.” she quietly declared before suddenly letting the bugsnaxs crawl down into her mouth. Wambus could only watch in horror…he didn’t know what to do. And while he did try his best to keep anymore bugsnaxs from getting over to his partner, it was too late. Before long, Triffany was already looking sick and ill as her body parts transformed. “Triffany, are ya alright!? Why did ya do that!?” wambus shouted. Triffany gave no reply; she only smiled sadly. “Come on, we gotta get out of here before these here vermins cause more damage!” the farmer exclaimed before trying to head up to the ship. But when he noticed that Triffany wasn’t following him, he turned around, and gasped in horror.

Triffany was standing there, with tears streaming down her beautiful blue eyes. Her body was suddenly falling apart. She looked wambus, her partner, who has been by her side for almost 30 years, right in the eyes, and choked out her final words. “This is now my end…yea? I was gonna end up here, one way or another, not like it mattered anyhow…the only thing that mattered out here…is bugsnax.”

And just like that..she was gone. Her food themed remains fell onto the ground as wambus just stood there. He was shocked. He was heart broken. But most of all…he was angry. At himself. “TRIFFY! NO…t-that…that can’t be!” He told himself. But that was reality. No matter what, he knew that the diamond in his rough was now gone forever…suddenly, reality started collapsing around the poor man. Everything was fading to black as wambus held triffany’s hat close to his chest. He wanted to scream, he wanted to yell, he wanted to cry, but he somehow couldn’t. It was like his mouth was glued shut. And just like that…

“AH GRUMP-” wambus would Yelp before falling out of the bed. A small but loud thud would echo across the slightly lit room. As he sat up to regain his thoughts, He then remembered that Triffany was in fact, still alive, for that they had all escaped snaktooth in one piece. They all were now living together in one big apartment, which had about 4 floors, and wambus and Triffany were on the 2nd floor, as well as wiggle, gramble, and Filbo.

“My head…grump, that hurt like hell” he mumbled to himself. He was covered in a cold, and hard sweat, and he was trembling like a sad and wet lost kitten. But something in his head told him that he shouldn’t be acting like that, so he did his best to stop trembling and wipe the sweat off. He then picked himself off of the floor, and looked at his gorgeous wife….who was wide awake.

“Wamby dear, what are ya doin up so late? It’s almost 3 in the mornin’?” Triffany inquired. Wambus just stood there in silence, trying to figure out what to say without seeming stupid. “Well? Is somethin on your mind?” Triffany asked. Wambus would then speak. “Nope, I’m positive that I am fine, I-I just need to get…um- ! A glass of water, yea, I just woke up with dry throat, that’s all.” He explained. Triffany just stared..she knew something was off, for her husband rarely stutters.

“Glass of water, yea? Then why did I wake up to you on the floor?” she interrogated. Wambus now knew that unless he could find a way to convince her that everything was fine (Spoiler alert, NOTHING IS FINE), he was in what he thought was boiling water. Triffany waited for an answer for 1 minute. Then 2. And finally, wambus spoke again. “Well see, I rolled out of bed on accident, and it woke me up, and I realized I had a dry throat so-” “alright wambus, I don’t wanna sound mean, but you shouldn’t really lie..” those words made wambus freeze. How could Triffany tell he was lying?!

“I wasn’t lyin about anything!” Wambus exclaimed, but Triffany knew better. She knew that wambus was lying, no matter how he tried to convince her. “Wamby, hon, I ain’t dumb. Plus, ya look like you’ve seen a ghost! And you’re hands look a little clammy, yea?” She replied. Wambus would look at his hands, which were infact clammy. “Crap.” Triffany then sat up, and approached her husband. “Now to get to the bottom of this. Wambus, what’s goin on?” She demanded. Wambus didn’t answer her question, and instead, he started walking away. And Triffany was NOT having that

“Wambus, please do not walk away when I ask you a question like this, now what is wrong?” She asked, with a more stern voice than before. Wambus was as silent as a mouse. It’s almost as if he was forcing himself from telling his wife about the horrific nightmare that he encountered in his sleep. He shook his head. “I ain’t tell ya.” He mumbled. “Why not?” “Because I don’t wanna!” Soon enough, it went from talking, to squabbling. “wambus, listen to me, it’s better to tell someone about what’s wrong than to just keep it in! I ain’t taking no for an answer, so just tell me what’s wrong! Please!” She pleaded. “I already said it enough times! The answer is N O!” He barked back. Now, if his wife was different, she would’ve attacked him, or insulted him to make him talk, but no. Triffany knew that she had to convince him. And so, in a calmer voice, she said, “honey, if you think I’m gonna make fun of you, you are wrong. I promise, whatever the issue is, I will NOT treat you with disrespect..now,would you like to tell me what’s wrong?”

Those words..those calm, and beautiful words..was what finally made wambus’s hard, stubborn, and tough shell crack. He suddenly looked to the side, with a saddening expression on his face. Tears would start appearing in the corners of his beautiful dark green eyes. This concerned Triffany a little, for it was rare to see her husband tear up, let alone cry. She took wambus’s hands into her own. “Wamby…are you alright?” She asked. “N…no. I aint alrighty..at all. I..had this- this nightmare about snaktooth. We were tryin to defeat those..those vermins, and you suddenly stopped and just- it was almost as if you were sacraficin’ yerself to the damn critters! As if you were tryin to save..me. I didn’t know what else to do, a-and you just- you suddenly..”

Before he could get another word out, he started crying..this shattered triffany’s heart. “It was the worst moment I’ve ever had *hic*, nightmare or real life! You were gone, a-and I- you were dead, and I just- I felt so grumpdamn horrible because I couldnt keep you safe! It was as if it was MY fault that you were grumping dead! I’m such a damn failure!” At this point, wambus was wailing his poor heart out. That’s how much this one nightmare got to him. Triffany hugged her husband close to her, tears prickling up in her own eyes.

“Oh Wamby…I recognize how ya feel, I really do..listen to me..you always do a good- no, excellent job at keepin’ me safe, no matter how small or big the danger is! And I promise, even if I do get hurt, it’s not ever gonna be you’re fault! And you are NOT a failure! You are a successful grumpus that is sadly misunderstood by lots of people, yea?” Triffany assured before wiping wambus’s tears with her thumb. Wambus chuckled sadly and smiled. “Remember, if you ever need to talk to me, you do not need to be afraid, no matter what the topic is, understood?” Triffany stated. Wambus nodded. “Understood” he replied before yawning quietly. “Now, let’s get back to sleep, shall we?” He asked.

Triffany would nod before suddenly picking up wambus. “W-wow, yer strong…very strong” wambus complimented, blushing an emerald green. Triffany chuckled. “Of course I’m strong! And plus, I’ve picked up lots of heavy stuff back at snaktooth, ya just weren’t there to watch!” she explained as she put wambus down onto the bed before snuggling close to him. Wambus would then kiss Triffany on the forehead. “I love you very much triffy..” he whispered before dozing off to sleep. Triffany would carefully hold wambus’s hand. “I love you too Wamby” she replied, before drifting off into a quiet and peaceful slumber.

(Hi everyone! I really hope you all enjoyed my first hurt/comfort oneshot! It took about 2 days, but I’m pretty proud of it! Bai!)

Bonus-

*the next morning*

Wambus and Triffany: *snuggling*

Filbo; Um- should we wake them?

Came up with this idea for a smash moveset for Filbo Fiddlepie from Bugsnax. Let me make it clear that I did this for fun, and didn't really take into account stuff like how well this moveset would work in a competitive setting. What I'm saying is don't take this too seriously. This is gonna be a long one, strap in folks.

*Entrance-Filbo rides in on the flying ship from the beginning of Bugsnax.

*Jab Combo-A couple of slaps, followed by Filbo flailing his arms around like he's catfighting.

*Forward Tilt-A headbutt.

*Up Tilt-Filbo swings his paw above his head.

*Down Tilt-Filbo reaches out with a slap while crouch.

*Dash Attack-Filbo trips and falls on his face.

*Forward Smash-Filbo's hand turns into a Noodler, and he jabs it forward.

*Up Smash-Filbo hops in place as his horns turn into Banoppers.

*Down Smash-Filbo's hand turns into a Spaghider and he whips it to both sides.

*Neutral Aerial-Filbo flaps his hands wildly, as if he's trying to stop himself from falling.

*Forward Aerial-Filbo's hand turns into a Cocomite, and swings it downward.

*Up Aerial-Filbo's hands turn into Rainbow Sweetieflies, and he claps them above his head.

*Back Aerial-Filbo's hand turns into a Dr. Sodie, and he swings it behind him.

*Down Aerial-Filbo stomps downwards as his feet turn into Big Bopsilces.

*Grab & Pummel-Filbo grabs the opponent with the bug net, and elbows them.

*All of his throws were essentially copied from Villager.

*The Bugsnax series icon is a Strabby.

(The two Kirby hats are just two different ideas I had for them, pick the one you prefer)

*Neutral Special: Sauce Slinger-Filbo pulls out the Sauce Slinger (which can be held like Link's bow), and fires chocolate at his opponent. If hit, the opponent is covered in chocolate and will take 1.25x damage from your attacks (like Inkling's ink mechanic).

*Side Special: Snakgrappler-Filbo uses the Snakgrappler to grab whatever's in front of him. Against opponents, it works as a quick grab and throw, but it can also be used to grab items and ledges.

*Up Special: Lunchpad-Filbo uses the lunchpad to spring up into the air. It basically works like Sonic or Banjo & Kazooie's Up Specials.

*Down Special: Buggy Ball-Filbo places down Sprout the Strabby on the stage. Pressing Down B again while he's out causes him to run to you. Sprout damages any opponents he runs into, but he can't jump, so he can only follow you horizontally, he can jump off of the Lunchpad, though.

Sprout will follow opponents covered in chocolate automatically as long as they're close enough.

*Final Smash: Feeding Frenzy-A massive horde of Bugsnax run across the stage, damaging any opponent they run into. It ends with a legendary bugsnak dealing the finishing blow.

*Up Taunt-Filbo does his funny little dance that he does at parties.

*Side Taunt-Filbo gets surprised by a Bunger.

*Down Taunt-Filbo hugs one of his plushies.

*Victory Screen 1-Filbo chases a Strabby back and forth.

*Victory Screen 2-Filbo builds a campfire and sits down next to it.

*Victory Screen 3-Filbo finishes an interview with the Journalist, then he stands around awkwardly.

*Filbo's colors are all based on other major characters from Bugsnax. I chose the colors based on color combinations I liked, but also tried to pick colors that had visual variety.

*Stage-SnaxBurg: Players fight on a flat plane, but can jump up onto the SnaxBurg sign in the middle. In the background, other residents of SnaxBurg hang around to watch the fight. (The houses are just in the background, you can't interact with them).

*Filbo's music list and spirits (The pink triangle marks remixes). I know Bugsnax has been out for a couple years now, but Smash sometimes tries to avoid more spoiler-y stuff for more recent games, so that's why I left certain songs and spirits out.

*Mii costumes that get released alongside the character pack.

*The PvZ costume comes with a music track (Brainiac Maniac).

*Filbo's Classic Mode-First Come, First Serve: The theme of this classic mode is characters known for eating. There's a twist to the gameplay in that food is constantly raining down (except for in the boss stage).

*Round 1-Alph (Garden of Hope): The Koppaites are known for their appetites, and Pikmin 3 (Alph's debut game) is all about collecting food.

*Round 2-Pac-Man (Battlefield Pac-Land): I don't think I need to explain this one.

*Round 3-Pit (Palutena's Temple): Pit loves food. He also wasn't used in Kirby's classic mode, so this helps Filbo's route stand out.

*Round 4-Bowser (Paper Mario): Putting Bowser on the Paper Mario stage and choosing the song "Tough Guy Alert" was a reference to "Bowser's Inside Story", a game about Bowser eating things.

*Round 5-Yoshi Team (Super Happy Tree): Another self-explanatory one. To differentiate from Kirby's route, I made it multi-man fight.

*Round 6-Kirby & King Dedede (Fountain of Dreams): You already fight Dedede on Fountain of Dreams in Kirby's classic route, but hey... Now Kirby's here too.

*Boss-Rathalos: Fighting a giant monster in the harsh wilderness is something that happens a few times in Bugsnax, so I tried to reflect that here.

grabbing gusher like a squeaky toy... give us the gush lore!!!

I cant tell if 'gush lore' is the Best Phrase Ever or the Worst Phrase Ever but I love it

1. what are the basics of your self insert? name, date of birth, height, etc.?

Gusher is middle-aged(But dye's his fur to make himself look younger.) His full name is Crusher Gusher (He becomes Crusher Gusher-Face after marrying his beloved Cromdo)! He is notably short- shorter than Cromdo. He's a trans guy and he has an ileostomy! He also has non-visible nerve damage on his leg. He would be voiced by Dana Snyder.

2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?

He went with the initial expedition! The short version of it is- He used to be a celeb due to his gimmick of crushing soda cans in his mouth and drinking them that way- he was in a lot of soda advertisements because of this. He injured his TMJ badly enough to where he can't do that anymore, but his ad agency and him agreed to continue faking it. It was revealed that he was faking it and the ad agencys quickly dropped him due to the scandal- he Just wanted to get away from everything and everyone- he as VERY overwhelmed. He was convinced that without this ability, no one would ever want to be around him again, because he's always been the "Hey let's invite the guy from the Grumpy-D Commercials who crushes cans to this party!" so without that- he thought he had nothing.

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

Lizbert - I think Lizbert generally liked Crusher- she found his enthusiasm(Even if it was obviously fake at times) to be delightful and was happy to have him along.

Eggabell - She was honestly worried about Crusher coming along, due to his disabilities, but she was also very confident in her ability to keep him healthy. She was also VERY thankfuly that, unlike SOME grumps, Crusher avoids risks at all costs so he generally wouldn't be injured. She did regular check-ups to make sure his stoma was healthy!

Filbo - As with everyone, Filbo is nice to him and tries to be encouraging! Sadly, Crusher is mean to him- mostly out of jealously because HE wanted to be mayor but like...objectively? He'd be so bad at it. I think he grows to respect Filbo as time goes on but also he's not above throwing ketchup on Filbo in a Bunger infested area if he gets too annoying...

Wambus - I think Wambus finds Crusher annoying- basically a second Cromdo but a little less sleazy. Even though everyone else generally finds Crusher charismatic, Wambus just sees through it and doesn't fall for it.

Gramble - Gramble just stays away from Crusher- Crusher fed him a bugsnak in his sleep once and he's never forgiven him, especially because Crusher's reason was, and I quote, "It was funny"

Wiggle - Crusher just isn't a fan of Wiggle banjo-pop, which she finds frustrating. Especially when he says that he prefers Nightcore...

Cromdo - Crusher was originally Cromdo's business partner on the island- the charismatic one of the team. But they ended up falling in love with each other- becoming basically inseparable. When everyone left, Crusher went with Cromdo hoping maybe they could have some romantic alone time....until they realized all the other spots were taken and they were relegated to the desert....Crusher was NOT happy about this. Cromdo at least built the windmills so it wasn't as bad for his boyfriend, which Crusher appreciates. Though it does get very cold there at night, so at least they can warm each other up :smirk:

Chandlo - I think Crusher just doesn't like him much for a while- not even for any particular reason. But after Chandlo fully offers to make a bigger hut so that Crusher and Cromdo can be in the same one...he warms up to him and finds his kindness genuine.

Snorpy - I feel like Crusher and Snorpy want each other dead and refuse to speak to each other. I think, eventually, they start warming up to each other but...Crusher is still kind of an asshole to him. Autism on Autism violence.

Floofty - Crusher is alright with Floofty- they are dating his niece in law after all. Though he wishes that Floofty would stop asking to do experiments relating to Bugsnax and his ostomy- its usually alright but he has limited supplies on the island (Until Floofty, somehow, engineers an ostomy bag that never needs to be changed...)

Shelda - I just. Think Crusher has no interest in talking to her. He spaces out frequently and I think she wants him dead for that.

Triffany - Crusher pretends to know what the hell she's talking about despite...not...but he DOES think dead things are cool which is good enough for Triffany. She is always happy to give Cromdo and Crusher relationship advice as well!

Beffica- They WERE friends at first, loving to gossip....until Crusher found out that she is the one who broke the story about him faking the can crushing. Now they are at war. Beffica is Constnatly trying to get dirt on Crusher and Cromdo and ends up very surprised that they are, in fact, actually very good to each other.

4. would you be considered a main character, side character, villain, or something else?

Side character! He isn't super prominent.

5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?

He's super gay!

6. does your self insert have any pets?

No but he likes to stick straws into Pineantulas and suck their insides out as a smoothie.

7. would any other characters (besides your f/o) have a crush on your self insert?

He's with Cromdo for life basically- after they get together they're inseparable and really important to each other. Cromdo would do anything to protect Crusher- and he DOES.

8. what is your self insert’s orientation? GAY.

9. who are your self insert’s closest friends?

I think he generally just stays around Cromdo. He has a hard time socializing now that his One gimmick is gone.

10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

To be honest, I think everyone is extremely surprised how well these two go together. They're both assholes and selfish but...they want nothing but the best for each other and would do ANYTHING for each other- even if that meant fucking everyone else over. They also clearly have no idea what they're doing (Crusher has never been in a relationship and this relationship is much, MUCH different than Cromdo's past ones) so they frequently get advice from the other island residents.

11. what kind of outfit(s) does your self insert wear?

He wears a spiked collar(The collar itself is leather but the spikes are actually plush and squishy.) and his ostomy bag!

12. how would the fandom view your character?

I think he would be pretty well liked- everyone likes him so far !!

13. does your self insert have any information about their family?

He does not- he has trauma related to his dad and he will not talk abt it with anyone But Cromdo.

14. what hobbies does your self insert have?

He is a big fan of food- and he truly Loves to dance. He also loves to stream on Tiktok and Twitch.

15. how does your self insert play a role in the plot of the story? do they help directly defeat the villain, support the heroes, etc.?

Well he helps the same amount that the other grumpuses do! He doesn't go to Broken Tooth.

16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.

He's autistic and gets the Bugsnax names stuck in his echolalia frequently.

Head Games Chapter 4/4: Truth

The party was a flop. No one wanted to dance or even mingle in a group, instead pairing off with their usual people or hanging out alone. If Buddy tried, they could perhaps convince at least some of the group to join Filbo in his attempt to ‘cheer everyone up’ as he’d put it. But… they didn’t feel up to trying to pretend everything was mostly okay any longer.

Beffica was right, they were a coward. Keeping Floofty’s death a secret was wrong and their reasoning for doing so was selfish. Everyone, especially Snorpy, had a right to know. But… but… after all the lies how could Buddy possibly bring it up and tell the truth now? … Well, Beffica’s note hadn’t placed a time frame on when they needed to tell, just said before they left Snaktooth, right? So, they could wait until right before they…

“Hey Bestie.” Beffica put ever so slightly more strain on the word, subtle enough that anyone else listening to it might not pick up on the fact that something was wrong. She sat down on the log bench next to them as they averted their gaze back to staring at the ground. “This party’s a real flop, huh? Not as bad as the first one but still.”

“Yeah.”

“Everyone is gathered though, even Snorpy showed up. So it might be a good time to like make an announcement and tell everyone something they should know. Or like, I don’t know, tell one person privately and then everyone else or whatever. However, you might theoretically want to do it. Assuming, you know, you had anything like that that you needed to say.”

“You’re not be very subtle.” And if someone over heard and asked what they were talking about Buddy might have no choice but to come clean lest Beffica do so for them which would be worse.

“You know, I overheard Snorpy whispering to Chandlo earlier about a kidnapping and possible rescue mission. They’re thinking about grabbing you and sneaking off during this party to investigate or something. They might decide to go off on their own though if they can’t get you to come with them. What do you think they might find?”

Buddy couldn’t pretend that that wasn’t a problem, could they? Nor could they pretend that continuing to let Snorpy have false hope, especially to the point of letting him waste his time like that, wouldn’t be wrong. They never should’ve lied. … Well really, they never should’ve pressed that button or let Floofty set up the machine or lie down on it. It was their fault and… they needed to come clean. But…

“I can’t yet. There’s, uh… a door up on Frosted Peak. I’m trying to figure out how to open it because I think Lizbert might be on the other side. I might need help doing that so… I can’t have everyone mad at me yet… you know?” Another excuse, any three grumps could open the door once Eggabell figured it out, they just wanted to be part of it. But the damage of lying and delaying had already been done, a little bit longer wouldn’t add any extra hurt or wrongness to it, right?

Beffica groaned. Before she could say anything, degrading them or in threat of coming clean for them, Buddy continued. “I will go do something about Snorpy’s plans though.” Still avoiding looking at her, they stood up. Before they could take more than a single hurried step away though, the ground rumbled and shook mightily, knocking them off their feet. Seems the world didn’t want them to tell the truth right now anyway. Luck was on their side for once, they had an actual valid excuse to put it off a bit longer.

*Later, during the escape sequence*

In the surprisingly competent paws of Filbo, the airship steadied as it rose higher in the air away from Snaktooth. Despite seemingly everything being stacked against them they’d all gotten safely on the ship and were basically home free. Everyone had made it aboard too. Now all they had to do was...

“Wait, wait,” Snorpy shouted from his spot at the railing, breaking the stunned silence following their rescue at Lizbert and Eggabell’s paws. “Pull her back down, Filbo. Floofty’s still down there somewhere… perhaps… hopefully.”

“Oh, uh, I don’t know how likely it is that they’re still…” Despite the doubt in his voice as he trialed off, Filbo changed course back towards the island.

“We gotta look though,” Chandlo said from his usual spot next to Snorpy. “Egg and what looked an awful lot like Liz turned out to be all right so Floofty might be too, right? So we gotta at least…”

Buddy couldn’t allow this to continue, not with how dangerous bugsnax had just proven themselves to be. “They’re dead! Don’t go back. It’d be just… putting ourselves into danger for no reason.”

“We can’t know that for sure,” Triffany said. “I feel we owe it to them to at least try to…”

“No! I… I…” They were getting closer to Snaktooth. How close before the Mothra Supreme came back to harass them again? Possibly knock them out of the sky, dooming them all. Was Filbo a good enough pilot to avoid that fate? “I was there when they died. I killed them.”

The airship lurched as Filbo jerked the wheel, not a big lurch but enough to surprise Buddy into losing their balance and fall as their spot in the middle of the ship didn’t provide them with anything to grasp onto. As they righted themself it was under the shocked looks everyone had turned towards them with. They all looked at them with various expression of shock and surprise. Except for Beffica of course who gave them a nod, it’s meaning hard to guess.

Snorpy broke the silence again, stepping towards them. “What do you mean you killed them?”

Buddy flinched but resisted the urge to take a step back. “It was an accident! Or uh… an experiment. They were testing to see if bugsnax could grow their head back if they had a machine cut it off. They asked me to help and I… I pressed the button. … Their head didn’t grow back. And then I hid all the evidence and lied about it because I’m a coward.” They wanted to say more, explain just how sure Floofty had seemed about it working. How they’d trusted Floofty to be right in their hypothesis. How if it had worked, that’d be a great scientific discovery, opening the door to many things that could help a lot of people. None of that really mattered though, did it? Especially since part of the reason they’d gone along with it was the selfish desire for a good story. And so instead they stood in silence, watching Snorpy’s expression change as he processed the news.

“They’re… they’re… really dead?” he eventually asked in a horrified whisper.

Buddy nodded. “I’m sorry.”

“And you didn’t grumping tell us?!” Chandlo was almost yelling. “All this time that’s Floofty’s been missing and we were worrying about them and looking for them but they’ve been dead this whole time. And not only did you know you helped cause it and then you didn’t tell anyone. What the grump is wrong with you? I thought you were cool, dawg.”

Buddy could explain how they were worried that the news would cause strife that would make it harder to find Lizbert or possibly result in the town breaking up again but it didn’t matter. So they just stood there in silence instead, staring at their feet. If they weren’t on an airship flying high above the ocean, they’d have run away. Technically they still could but… even if they probably deserved it, they couldn’t bring themselves to do that kind of running away.

“You’ve been one of them this whole time, haven’t you?” Snorpy was mad now too. It was probably an easier emotion to handle than grief and was well warranted. “I should’ve trusted my instinct about you when you first showed up at our cabin. This never would’ve happened if I had. How dare you…”

“Snorpy,” Chandlo interrupted, his voice softer, “let’s go. They’re not worth our time.”

Snorpy made a wordless sound of distress and anger, intense to enough to pull Buddy’s gaze off the deck and to his face. He was visually struggling not to cry and failing. Chandlo took his arm. He looked for a second like he was going to resist but instead, let Chandlo lead him away to the ship’s cabin. Presumably for privacy but definitely to get away from Buddy. A good idea; being around Buddy even to yell at them some more wasn’t likely to do him any real good even if they deserved it.

With the two of them gone, closing the cabin door behind themselves, a heavy silence settled over the deck once more. Everyone was still staring at Buddy. Seemingly no one else knew what to say next, neither did Buddy. What more even could be said other than how stupid they were for going with Floofty’s plan and how cowardly and awful they were for hiding the truth for so long?

Cromdo finally let out a low whistle. “Wow, this is gonna be an awkward flight back to the mainland, huh?”

Yep so hopefully it would be fast. Then Buddy could flee from all this and never think of it again. Not that they could ever escape the guilt of being a killer or how they’d lied about it for so long to people who they considered to be friends. At least they’d finally come clean and maybe, just maybe, they felt a bit better for it. No longer weighed down by the knowledge that they should tell, that everyone had a right to know the truth. It wasn’t much but they’d take what little comfort they could get.

And at least everyone else was safe. Buddy had helped get everyone else on board the ship. Not that their heroism made up for their crimes but it was something at least, right? They hadn’t caused the death of anyone else. But yeah, this was gonna be a long, uncomfortable ride back to the mainland no matter the length of time it actually lasted. Nothing else to do but settle in and do their best to give the people their actions had hurt the most as much space as possible.
