imma bully you and remind you of the architect bones >:3c
BREATHES A WORLD-WEARY SIGH AND PULLS UP THE MODELS
Lumi, my friend, my fellow beast among men, you know exactly what you bring.
It is at long last time to “Discuss” this wretched thing
Tumblr media
Let’s start from the bottom and work our way up, cause I wanna get the worst of it out of the way. The fucking,.. Legs. Here’s what we see in-game;
Tumblr media
Technical flaws aside, this is pretty normal and reasonable. Three main segments per leg, articulated toes on the front, hoof foot in the back, an almost standard digitigrade setup. This would be fine, if not for the fact that half of those joints don’t actually exist
Tumblr media
There are two segments excluding foot bones
I’m assuming that ball in the front legs is a knee
Solid bones in the toes
So uhm,… yeah basically;
Tumblr media
And this is before I mention that these aren’t actually connected to the body! THAT’S RIGHT BABY!! THESE THANGS FLOATIN!!!
Tumblr media
So, when Al-an says “primitive ball and socket joints”, I must ask him back! Compared to what, buddy? Miss me with that whale vestigial hind leg bones shit. Your hips are useless and your weight is supported by nothing. Also why so many holes. I hope that’s for like, internal wiring or whatever.
EXHIBIT B, RIBS AND SPINES
Tumblr media
The lower back is all one solid bone
That is just a human spine. We know personally how bad this shit is at supporting vertical weight. I’m experiencing those effects right now.
Is this ribs anymore? I’ll call it frame. The chest frame is, again, solid. A very rigid structure, there’s no movement in there. Not quite as bad, considering they don’t have lungs (at least not in the same way we do) but still bad for mobility. Looks cool tho, I guess
Back to something worse now, arms! Hands!! Shoulder blades!!
Tumblr media
Not the worst elbow joint tbh
Forearm bones are fused. Again, no movement. They cannot twist their arms
No wrist bones. The hand is a single solid bone. The thumb/claw is also one bone
Tumblr media
Now what’s going on back here? Is that a collarbone? Connected to the neck and fused with the shoulder blade?? What is that spike?? I have no idea what this would do to the movement range of the arms and shoulders. Presumably bad things. Also that big bit coming off the top is the shoulder… handles?
Tumblr media
And finally, the skull. It’s easily the least egregious part of it all, honestly I like it a lot, save for the thick as hell neck bones. Why are they… So Large. No idea what’s going on with the skull-neck joint tho, cannot tell if it’s good or bad. Definitely weird to me at least.
Tumblr media
Skull pretty cool. I’d hazard a guess and say the main brain isn’t up there and it’s all sensory stuff so a lot of holes is fine (also they put armour on top of the head), and the ‘face’ is very interesting. Makes me wonder if they had vertical jaws. Of all the things to be solid bone, the horns were the last thing I’d expect (they are semi hollow tho), and the prongs give me moose vibes. Also the whole thing sits farther back in the head than I thought.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah that basically sums it up. Their legs fucking suck and the rest is anywhere from ‘why tho’ to ‘sure I guess’. The way Al-an moves ingame should be impossible for him and if this skeleton is actually cannon in its entirety then man must have some extra Secrets. And if there’s any architect skeleton defenders in existence I would love to hear from you.

hi!
i was just wondering, what is your headcanons for ragequit? I just wanna see your visionTM for them!! /pos
OUUGHGHGHH i guess i just be answering asks now lmao I HAVE SO MANY HGSKDJHKFD
ANYWAYS...
i headcanon that before the events of the game, pebbles and sig didnt get along super well, but it was more of a "haha teasing" kind of way. annoyances to lovers if you will. ragequit post-ingame-events is a lot more complex and would require both of them (though particularly sig) to work through a LOT of shit before an actual relationship could form or whatever. but my general idea for them is that sig and pebbles are kind of like, the babies of the local group. they're younger, their emotional AI is a lot more developed, and in terms of pebbles, painfully human to the point of self-sabotage. when they're feeling shitty, and just want to vent, they go to each other. that isnt to say that moon and suns dont do their best to help, but sig and pebbles understand how frustrating and honestly painful really, really feeling shit can be. moon and suns will often attempt to offer solutions (such as how suns doesn't go to comfort pebbles in the "bug" conversation from the game, they go to providing logical answers), whereas sig and pebbles will just let each other cry it out. there's less of a power dynamic between the two of them, sig is older but pebbles certainly doesn't respect her as much as he does suns, so its less..."embarrassing" to rant or break down to one another because their arent any expectations between them. this is partially how the rot au ends up happening lol
more below the cut!!
General Headcanons:
Sig has a billion nicknames for Pebbles, including: Pebbs, Pebbies, Peebs, "My grumpy little sunflower" (that one comes from the streamer au which is just. absolute chaos)
Sig is very touchy in general. He just. Casually puts a hand on Pebbles' waist, or rests her head against his shoulder, or gives him hugs as greetings, and Pebbles doesnt have to ASK her to! He hates asking for affection bc it makes him feel weak/vulnerable
Oh the bickering. The bickering is so cute. Sig pushes every single one of Pebbles' buttons and it is endlessly entertaining
They trust each other. A lot. Despite the teasing they've seen each other at their lowest, and neither poke fun at shit they know will truly hurt them

How do you think confessed their feelings first out of Kiibo and Shuichi, and how do you think the confession went?
HI ANON I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG GETTING TO THIS ITS BEEN LIKE A MONTH OR LONGER IM SO SORRYYY AUGH at first I was planning to make one of my usual comics to answer this bc I Honestly Need To Make One for this concept BUT MOTIVATION WORKS AGAINST ME. I HOPE TO FINISH IT SOMEDAY. ITS STILL SOMETHING I NEEDDD TO DO.
BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION! I have many many confession ideas in my head, self indulgent ones, hypothetical ones, accidental ones, etc. etc. BUT for my most canon compliant, most realistic, most canon TO ME confession scenerio, shuichi is the one to confess! And it’s postgame as well! obviously after kiibo is rebuilt, probably a few months to a year after he’s rebuilt? (realistically). I feel like shuichi most certainly fell for kiibo first, and definitely caught some sort of feelings ingame, especially in some of the later chapters and ftes. but realistically? in a situation like that? especially after kaede and kaito? I don’t think he’d ever want to confess not knowing if either of them would ever make it out. And kiibo on the other hand has a very loose grasp on love ingame and knowing how he kind of looked down on shuichi as inferior for their first few interactions, I think it’s very likely it took him A Bit longer to properly appreciate shuichi as a person and start gaining feeling for him himself (I do think it happens later ingame for him too, but he’s just a lot less aware that those feelings are love as opposed to just strong liking or trust in shuichi after properly interacting with eachother)
but for the scenerio itself, I headcanon all the survivors living together in an apartment postgame! himiko and maki sharing a room and kiibo and shuichi sharing a room, to save space and pay less. Himiko and Maki got jobs almost immediately after they escaped the kg to pay for their home properly while shuichi stayed home figuring out how to rebuild kiibo (though ofc himiko and maki helped when they could!!) So! in that inbetween time before shuichi got a job as well and after kiibo was rebuilt, they spent A LOT of their free time together. They learned things about eachother they never got the chance to ingame. Saw sides of eachother they never got to see before. Without a killing game looming over their head (despite the trauma still very much effecting them) they both were really able to get so much closer. Spend so much more time doing mundane everyday life things, walking, running errands, cooking, cleaning, just. Living. This is when it really settled in for shuichi. this wasn’t just some sudden crush and attachment he had in a killing game, he loves kiibo. he loves seeing kiibo smile. he loves hearing kiibos voice. he loves walking alongside him as they stroll through the neighborhood. he loves kiibo. and this sort of settled in for kiibo too, though he’s still new to the emotion, he’s realizing his attatchment and want to be around and spend time with shuichi is more than just the feeling of friendship. but he just can’t figure it out. why does he feel horrible when shuichi is away. why do his fans go off whenever shuichi smiles…. he must be malfunctioning.
until one night, shuichi laid in his bed, having made the excuse he was going to bed early, leaving the others to finish off dinner. yet he laid there wide awake, his mind racing, going back and fourth on whether he should ever even bother confronting kiibo on his feelings, when kiibo walked in a few hours later to plug himself in for the night too. “this is it.” “just get it over with.” shuichis mind screamed. shuichi sat up, asking to see if kiibo was still powered on. Kiibo perking up from the desk across shuichis bed and telling him he was, and wasn’t expecting shuichi to still be wide awake himself. shuichi stayed silent for a moment, looking down at his hands, fidgeting them a bit. kiibo asking if he needed anything and if he was okay. shuichi looks up at kiibo and just. says it. “I love you, Kiibo.” Kiibo sat in silence for a moment, processing the four whole words that came out of his friends mouth, buffering like a computer. was this just some sort of elaborate prank? shuichi wouldn’t…. then it hit him. that’s what kiibo was feeling. his dread when shuichi leaves and his want to be around him constantly and cheer him up wasnt just some fucked up malfunction. he loved shuichi. And shuichi loved him too.
WENT INTO MEGA RAMBLING TERRITORY AND BORDERLINE FANIC WRITING SORRY ABOUT THAT OOPSIESS APOLOGIES IF ANYTHING DOESNT MAKE SENSE IM NOT AN AUTHOR OR ANYTHING
I JUST REALLY WANTED IT PROPERLY LAYED OUT AND IM GLAD SOMEONE ASKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON! I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION!! hopefully I’ll finish that comic someday eheheh been struggling with it for over a month now and I don’t even color my comics </3

1sr I wanna day I LOVE AND ADORE ur work! ur amazing! ty for everything u do for us! now heres my ? .. ik it may be out of your wheelhouse but I was wondering if u would ever do a set of world matching flooring? like I hate we dont have matching floors or terrain paints to match the lots were given. like the hardwood the bar in brindleton bay is on. or the SIDEWALKs around. theres so many more. if not maybe pass it to 1 of ur cc creator buddies lol thanx!!
Honestly, I have no idea how to even access world textures. I know it is the bane of a lot of people. I wouldn't be surprised if others have already done some of them, pretty sure at one point i had the brindleton bay dock flooring ingame. I think the biggest issue would be getting the scale right, and whether or not you could actually access all the textures (some i image are paints on a terrain). Honestly, probably not something i will do and it seems like a pain in the arse 😅

for the-o never saw your header before. Gay people jumpscare. anyway for the character ask game. 8+14+26 for luke our friend luke of thw tales variety and 1+13+27 for pandreo. redheads go
gay person caught in the intended trap Yayy
Little lord Luke!!!!!!
Your favorite outfit of them
i still really enjoy towel boy just for the silly descriptor ingame........... but his sgma outfit has become a fast favorite of mine bc there is no endgame luke Official Art and im clinging to it like a leech!!!! if i had to pick a 3rd it would be his asteria anni outfit. hands down. im sorry for being normal.
Best storyline they had
well saying the whole game wouldnt be Fair I Guess. theres three i rlly like (and one that i now feel crazy over bc i can only remember the anime version of it ..???) honestly 1 mightve just merged in my brain bc i havent gone through the game in so long. anyway.
sidequest chain where you're buying back arte books a maid at the fabre manor accidentally threw away. theres a bit for the final book where luke admits to his mom that he thought the maid would be fired if his dad found out so he kept it a secret. theres a nice bit at the end with his mom telling him to trust her more. its nice :)
mushroom road event. im sorry this started veering off into asch but i like it when family. luke not forcing asch to come visit his mom even though he was in mushroom road for the same thing (getting medicine for their mom) makes me explode everytime
and the infamous "did i meld this w something they changed in the anime or am i crazy" moment is asch coming back to the manor and luke making it so he can have one last moment with his parents. funny how i place this after mushroom road but it works okay? You gotta trust me, otay?
When do you think they were being "themselves" the most?
whenever this happens, both in short hair mode and long hair mode. love it when it does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pandreo
My first impression of them
"omg redhead priest i wonder what he's like" [unaware that he would have me at his first AROOOOOOOOOO] "oh i LIKE him"
Your favorite friendship they have
hmmmmmmmmmm oh god. im still support grinding for him like a normal person. but if i had to pick one at the moment it'd be alcryst definitely just because the two of them together is such a funny fucking combination.
If they could meet a character from another show/movie/etc, who would be the most fun for them to meet?
oh god. WELL YOU MADE ME PICK LITTLE LORD LUKE FOR THIS AND NOW I WANT TO SEE THAT. IT'D BE FUNNY. PANDREO TURNS HIM INTO A PARTY ANIMAL, CHECK BACK IN WHENEVER BAMCO COMES UP WITH CREATIVE COLLAB IDEAS.

Tvekks 1 12 16 17 18 (also maybe 3 for everyone, rats and all?)
Hi anon thank you for the ask!! Let's get right into it:
Tvekks!
1. What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 
Played through the core dungeons, saw Kudu, and really wanted someone using the same face base as him because I thought it looked really cool. That, and some manner of involvement with the Inquest.
12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)? 
In terms of visual art he's actually among the easier characters to draw! His character allows for very exaggerated expressions which is nice.
So, what's the difficult part... I guess in writing terms I tend to describe him a little one-note? It's very easy to reduce him to the typical pathetic loser archetype. (Which, quite honestly, he mostly is.) Gotta stop bullying him for a second.
16. What is something about your OC can make you cry? 
His entire life is just a ridiculous string of "of course this had to happen to him too now" events, but I think what personally gets me the most about his pathetic little existence is how touch- and affection starved he has become;;
There's this unspoken mutual romantic tension between him and his superior but it'll never be resolved. She appreciates him but she's cold as ice with the interpersonal intimacy skills of a brick wall. Neither of them would ever admit there's any feelings going on beyond a professional work relationship. He knows she's way out of his league.
And he's got noone else apart from her. He's way too anxious to go out and meet new people. To hell with the Inquest but he misses his partner he had there. It doesn't even necessarily have to be romantic but he just craves a genuine hug. He's so, so lonely. Sometimes he cries about it at night.
And this is my personal biggest Tvekks heartbreak! (inappropriate confetti throw)
17. Is there some element you regret adding to your OC or their story? 
None I can think of currently! Usually if I don't like an element anymore I just retcon it. In his original "draft" he was meant to be a kinda stoic/grumpy guy but that thought didn't last very long.
18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC? 
Insignificant discovery made literally today: Found a new species to add to his aquarium.
And the general question:
3. How did you choose their name? 
If you've ever had to find a lore friendly asura name ingame that isn't taken yet you know this is a task of great suffering. Especially if you're like me and don't want to add titles to the names.
There's generally two types of naming situations:
Situation 1) I have a general idea of what I want as a name and now have to find the most bastardized spelling of it that is not yet taken. Rats in this category: Khivvi, Phlish, Petthri, Qissh. Yes, Qissh is a quiche joke. No it has nothing to do with his character, I just ate quiche at some point and thought "thats a funny asura name". It's also a vague star wars reference and that's why he uses the holosmith sword but let's not go there now.
Situation 2) I have absolutely no idea what I want with the exception of maybe a general "a name containing letter XY would suit them" vibe. This is when I hit up random name generators for inspiration. I've never taken any name from any generator directly but they help me remember which letters there are to use in the alphabet LMAO And then it's just a matter of combining letters until something resembling a name comes out of it.
Tvekks ironically falls somewhere in between those two situations. I knew he was gonna be a Chronomancer so I was thinking of something kinda clock-sound related but like literally everything was taken so somewere along the way of switching and adding random letters to the actual name I wanted we ended up with Tvekks. I think it's actually my favourite asura name of the ones I got haha.
Also Luqqah, before I actually planned to create her ingame, vaguely went by "Tessa" in my head but it wasn't really set in stone and also it was impossible to get any remotely similar name ingame. I like her name now better anyway :D

Frenzied Swap AU—
I do think other Hisuian variants could assist? Not noble, but big enough to help. Specifically since we never saw Iscan’s partner pokemon, I would headcanon it’s a Hisuian Quilfish. Not a battler by any stretch, but can act as a floatation device or inflate into a platform while fighting Basculegion, though it’s easy to be knocked off of. I also think the fight should be in Sand’s Reach, because the long skinny “fingers” would give a good balance of land and water to operate in.
Characterwise, this also gives a good story for the region Wardens! Iscan and Basculegion saved Palina and the Growlithe when the last lord died, and now the Pearl warden and Noble would be determined to help him and return the favor even if both are “failures” at their roles. The plot could even involve having to get to Firespit Island at low tide with Growlithe so it can evolve while Basculegion attacks, (making it a time sensitive race before the tide rises).
Meanwhile Iscan has always been afraid of ghosts, but this incident makes him almost lose his confidence in his ability as Basculegion’s warden. At one point the Protag has to go find him and convince him to loan them Quilfish, and he’s hiding in Turnback Cave, saying turning back is all a coward can do. Palina shows up with the newly evolved Lord and asks him to be the brave man who saved her once, and basically convinces him to stand up for himself and Lord Basculegion. I honestly like the idea that if the battles are more straight up fights or wearing out that you can get help from the Wardens—they need more screen time!
no but qwilfish/overqwil is so perfect bc not only is it a coastlands pokemon, it's also a perfect ghost-type counter with the dark-typing! i was also thinking sand's reach, but then again if we're going with needing to trap basculegion in an inlet so it can't evade, that's exactly ideal. unless you have a certain number of attempts to trap it, represented by the spaces between the "fingers" where it could be pinned
listen i love the coastlands wardens bc of their characters and how telling they are of the way the pearl/diamond clans have to work together (you literally CAN'T get to firespit island ingame without either swimming or employing the diamond clan's help!) but also bc the warden who's scared of the ocean has a noble that lives on an island and the warden scared of ghosts has a noble who's like fifty dead fish. how do you mess up that bad
maybe iscan's afraid of facing basculegion directly, bc it's an incredibly powerful pokemon and currently has NO thoughts except KILL, but that's at war with his guilt for ever being afraid of his noble. ultimately it isn't either, but his sense of duty and commitment to the Meaning of being a warden that wins—he accepts the risks and faces the danger bc sometimes you just Have To. yknow.
meanwhile maybe palina gets it reinforced—lord arcanine evolves, but still loses to the type-advantaged and more experienced noble, but iscan and the protagonist come to protect her anyway—that they don't need to be perfect, yknow. lord arcanine is expected to be a pure power defensive pokemon, but fails at that—but finds his footing in a more supportive role, using rockslides to trap lord basculegion so the others can actually fight it.

BRO U LIKE GENSHIN? since we r talking abt paimon i found her rlly cute in the beginning but my main problem with her is her goddamn voice. so high and it gets progressively higher as the game goes on. it was rlly nice and calm in the beginning and now she’s screeching. i also have a massive problem with silent traveller. they tried to do a breath of a wild thing where the main character is silent but the difference is, their main character has options that are apart of the convo. aether and lumine are just there. we get options sure but they don’t do anything. paimon speaks for us and that’s really annoying because what if we have a separate idea from that? they can keep the silent traveller but hoyoverse, don’t make it seem like a one on one convo with paimon and the npc. another massive problem i have is the character designs. idk if you’ve seen yelan’s physics but her boob ones? immaculate compared to lisa. and the heizou leaks? he’s so pretty. if they’re able to do that they should be able to do justice to itto’s body. he’s an oni? not a muscular man like itto should be massive. don’t get me started on diluc’s face. he looks a like a grumpy baby. and albedo’s hair????? it looks so flat ingame and i understand it might not work but im sure they can elevate it a bit more? and we now arrive on the biggest problem of them all, resin and rng. fuck resin. that’s it. either don’t make everything locked behind resin, or make the cap higher. no way is someone supposed to do everything they want with 160 resin when all domains and bosses are 20 and 40. and fix the stupid ass rng???? i don’t want to be doing domain’s multiple times and my resin running out and finishing it with one good artifact. and even after getting one good artifact leveling it up relies on rng. like yeah you get a good substat but now, you have to once again rely on rng for that substat to be upgraded as well. okay this was rlly long but it’s just so annoying and frustrating bc we all know hoyoverse can fix this stuff but they don’t bc capitalism yass
God, Paimon just... Is so goddamn irritating and nearly made me quit the game in the first place. Her voice makes my teeth feel itchy and i have to keep muting her at this point so i dont get a headache.
BUT YES THANK YOU, if silent protagonist, why take away perks of having a silent protagonist by having the world's most annoying little bitch speak for us.
Like im sorry, but if Paimon was like... Bibble, from Barbie, and spoke in squeaks and noises and yet the traveler was the only one to understand her and everyone else was just ??? Like, translating her words for the player and we can chat with her that way, i'd love that way more. Also, it would hit harder if the only words the traveler ever say are to their twin, or something. Like, imagine how much better that would be! Rather than having a diaper demon speak for me and being a little cunt.
Ngl, i don't really look too much into character design, but the genshin women... They do feel designed by a horny incel. Specifically when it comes to boob physics?? Why do they need to have physics??? But the genshin art looks so much better than the models in game? Specifically @ diluc, like he's super hot out of game but the model? Suddenly he's not the hottest dude in mondstadt, he's a grumpy newborn.
Honestly, the resin is one of the many mechanics that just don't really make sense? Like, i can see how they thought it was a good idea, but several in game features don't.. Work.
Also, I have a personal vendetta against the pause screen. Because, say, if you go from the menu and want to go into your inventory to fucking heal up, instead of pressing alt and selecting the inventory backpack, because its easier.
Why.... Would you make time continue in the space between going from the fucking menu... To the inventory? To the Wish screen? TO THE CHARACTER SCREEN? Like, it's... Neat? Idk what they were going for but it just pisses me off at times, because you can't move in that time but enemies can and its enough time to get a fucking swing in. Also some of the enemies are legitimately fun but some aren't levelled correctly at all? It's just irritating.
Edit: paimon is the main character
I'm just basically her oversized Swiss army knife that she sets on people.
Therefore... I want to put her in a washing machine

The first scenario I thought of where Gregory would need to save one of the twins is in regards to the Monty golf minigame where he is decommissioned. At first instead of Gregory going in there alone, Moon ends up in there before Sun and Gregory and unbeknownst to him it was a trap. He ended up getting trapped in the play area, as the doors separated him from his brother and the kid and trapped him with Monty. He tries to reassure his brother at first, saying that he’ll just stay near the ceiling for now until they can meet back up.
There’s silence on his end for a few minutes while Sun and Gregory plan how to get into gator golf, only for a delightful message to pop in on the watch that “MONTY CAN REACH THE CEILING”. The gator is aided by the carts as well as the rafters, which was something he realized a bit too late and he almost got slammed straight into the floor. Sun freaked out and tried to unlock the door, but again Moon was locked in and any vents that lead into that area of gator golf are too small for either to get through. Moon is rather quick on his feet, but he isn’t made to have lots of energy like Sun is and he isn’t as fast as him; He can only run for so long, and Monty golf is still very unfamilar to him. There isn’t many places to hide, not many good perches that Monty can’t reach either. So it’s pure sprinting around the rafters dodging shit Monty hurls at him, including fucking gold carts.
Gregory, though, can fit into the vent and sneaks in. And this gremlin climbs up the sides of the rafters and manages to end up really high up and out of sight right near the top of the massive bucket which most likely involved some VERY dangerous maneuvers over fast moving parts ( Moon nor Monty notice him there, as they are both kinda preoccupied). He then told Moon that he had an idea, and specifically asked “I have an idea. Do you trust me?” which made Moon really nervous because when you have to start an idea with that it’s probably not a good thing. But it wasn’t like he had much of a choice either, so he asked Gregory what he had in mind via the fazwatch conenction- yet again, completely unaware that he was there too. Busy running for his life essentially; Though Sun DID notice Gregory’s absence and almost freaked out until Gregory mentioned having a plan, though he still wished Gregory would of explained it to him FIRST before going off to do whatever it is he was doing. Gregory told Moon that he needed to get Monty to hit the target with the stuff he was throwing; Moon was... not entirely sure how that would help, being as again he hadn’t really been in gator golf too much before. And it seemed like a bad idea to stay still long enough to not only get into the air, but get Monty to throw something at him and then dodge fast enough for it to hit the target instead but he did it. Sun tried to help by keeping an eye on the cameras, though honestly all that was doing was making him an anxious mess because he was watching his brother try and dodge this massive gator that could probably kill him very easily.
Monty isn’t stupid though, and realized what Moon was trying to do. I’m pretty sure there’s an ingame report about Monty getting damaged by the bucket in the past, so I think he’d catch on before Moon knew what the plan was himself. The logical thing to do? Tear one of the shooters out of their stand and throw it as hard as he can to the next target. Before he had been only aiming directly at Moon and he didn’t notice the change just long enough that the shooter hit him and knocked him back down into the rafters. Somehow he avoided getting severely damaged, but his leg got injured as that is where he got hit and considering he was relying purely on speed that basically spelled a death sentence.
Or so he thought. Cause while he couldn’t run far, and where he did end up ended up being a dead end there was juuust enough weight from what he had done before for Gregory’s plan to work. Moon ended up cornered in an area similar to where the boss battle ends in game, though the button wasn’t there. Gregory yelled “DUCK!” before using all the strength in his little gremlin body to push the bucket off kilter. Due to the massive amount of balls in it, it only took a little movement for it to swing down. Moon managed to duck in time despite grappling with a giant pissed off gator that was most likely trying to tear out his throat. If it makes more sense, Monty was probably holding Moon off the ground to ya know tear out his throat and when Gregory yelled to “duck” Moon swung flipped around so that he was being held lower to the ground and essentially rolled out of his grip the moment it loosened, just as the rafter that he would’ve been on collapsed taking Monty out with it. It’s only THEN that Moon noticed Gregory up in the depths of the ceiling. Gregory, pleased with himself, happily jumped down- almost giving his nighttime father a stroke, but he DID catch him. After that they managed to get the doors opened, and somehow Moon was relatively unharmed and Gregory got the claws he wanted in the first place. Sun practically smothered his brother the moment the door opened because holy shit, that was way too close.
Now I want feedback about this, because it’s my first time writing this sort of idea. And of course if you want clarification I’ll try to explain to the best of my abilities!

Hey, I’m a new follower and I just wanna say I love your writings! 💜💜
I was wondering if you would write for the boys reacting to Tall! Chubby! MC being insecure about their height and weight because of social media but doesn’t try to show it because they don’t want them to worry?
Doesn’t have to be angst, just do your thing! 💕

A/N: Just the brothers this time. Might do the sides separately at a later date.
Just a warning: not all of the brothers are here to help or comfort. Some are, some are not. Some are good at it, some are not. These are just their reactions.
Tumblr media
Lucifer
He felt that insecurity the moment he made a pact with them. He is the avatar of pride, so he is more than capable of knowing exactly what things make them proud and what things make them want to hide away.
He is the most direct of the brothers, speaking to MC about their issues without beating around the bush. They have nothing to be ashamed of. All humans are different. They are just taller than average and a little plump. It’s just their body.
But… talking like that doesn’t really fix insecurities, so once he sees his very logical conversation did not work, he takes them out. He dresses them up in clothing that looks amazing on their body type, pointing out that all humans are different and that those differences only change superficial things. Someone without their height wouldn’t look good in this outfit. Someone thinner would just have the fabric hanging off of them without shape. Everyone is different.
And when the clothing comes off, they are still them. With or without an outfit, it is still the same person in the mirror. They should be proud of the way they look, no matter what they look is.
Mammon
“I don’t think I can pull that off,” the way they looked at the outfit as they set it back on the shelf, the tone of their voice, their arms wrapping around themselves like a barrier between the world and them… Oh shoot! How had he never noticed it before? They had body issues.
He… has no idea how to handle this. He's just going to stay silent because… how?!!??
It does not help that he is a model. He knows exactly what requirements it takes to make it into magazines and fit into those outfits everyone admires. Honestly, he sometimes wonders if he’s part of the problem after he finally notices.
Leviathan
He was definitely the slowest to pick up on how uncomfy MC was with their own body. Any game with character creation? They made their avatar shorter and thinner than they really were. He thought it was just a preference at first, but it was clear that it was something more when he was playing a life sim and added them to the game.
The model looked just like them, but they kept asking him to, “change them just a little.” He didn’t understand at that moment, but one day, in the middle of doing something else completely, it finally hit him.
It isn’t like he doesn’t sympathize. He’s the avatar of envy, after all. He changes his ingame models all the time to something he prefers so… MC can do the same. He won’t say anything. They have both reached a silent understanding that sometimes they just want to be someone besides who they really are in some way.
Satan
‘Why are you so insecure? Have you never seen a Greek statue or a renaissance painting before? Your body is the height of beauty and has been used for centuries to show strength, power, and divinity.’ That’s what he thinks the first time he notices their insecurities.
He’s more subtle about his support of them, trying to ease them into liking themselves and seeing how beauty standards change over time and that such things are unworthy of their attention. They should love themselves more.
He’s trying. He really is. It is just really subtle.
Asmodeus
MC barely had to get out a few words for him to pick up that they were insecure, but he didn’t really care… at first. Their body issues were not his problem and he wasn’t here to solve them. What a waste of his time...
After they formed their pact, however, he was quick to jump on those insecurities and strangle them with his bare hands. How dare his pactmate be made to feel that way. He will have to fix that~
Unfortunately, Asmo is not the best help in some ways. He follows trends, so he is more prone to making MC fit into modern beauty standards than working on their underlying issues. I mean, he's magical with a make-up pallet and brush, but… once the magic wears off, MC doesn't feel any better about their natural body.
But, you know, MC feels like the most beautiful person in the world as long as the magic hasn’t worn off yet, so…
Beelzebub
Beel is a sweet bean and an absolute teddy bear, but… don’t expect him to have the words to comfort MC and make them feel better about themselves. He knows that MC is tall, he knows the MC is chubby, he isn’t going to sugarcoat that. Not that he really thinks there is anything to sugarcoat.
He noticed MC was trying a new diet and nearly lost his mind in the calmest Beel way possible, "Are you not eating because you gained weight?" And it felt like a punch to the gut.
He likes them no matter what they look like and he finds them pleasing to look at but… if it bothers them he can help? The man has a six-pack and eats enough to feed an entire militia, he knows some tricks.
Those tricks include 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 jumping jacks… he wouldn't mind having someone to work out with.
Although, he really likes the way MC looks already… but if it's between helping them exercise or watching them starve, he will pick working out with them any day.
Belphegor
Could not care less if he tried. Human beauty standards are dumb and he refuses to deal with them, even by proxy.
MC is insecure? Why? That kind of stuff really shouldn’t bother them. The entire thing is exhausting.
Yeah… Sorry, MC. You aren’t getting support from this one. Although, he is the only one that MC will go to to rant about their insecurities since he listens without judging them or trying to solve their issues. Sometimes MC just has to complain to get out their feelings.
Belphie may not care about the underlying issue, but he will still offer a friendly ear and a hug if that’s what MC wants and needs.

Cuphead!
First impression:
Ingame- nooooo cuphead noooo why’d you gamble you and your brother’s souls to the Devil :( You were supposed to be a funny little cup guy
In the show- Like game Cuphead but two times more excitable! Honestly reminds me a lot of my sister so I really appreciate him
Impression now:
He’s a good egg! A bit quick to jump into Violence Is Definitely The Answer tho haha
Not to be dramatic but I would die for Cuphead and Mugman okay they are so comfort character
I really can’t talk about him without his brother because they balance each other so well it’s kind of insane
Favorite moment:
“Yeah, we’re just a couple of, uh, dum-dums!
“Zip it ding-dong, she ain’t gotta know we’re a couple of dum-dums!”
My favorite Cuphead moments in the show are when he recognizes how much work Mugman puts in to keep his soul safe, despite claiming that he “ain’t too worried about it”
It’s just a really sweet testament to how much he loves and values his brother.
“Aw, gee, Mugsy! You’re the best brother a cup could ever have!”
Idea for a story:
Aha…………. I mean I have an ask blog AU idea that I’d like to put in the works…..
The idea is that the events of the game begin the same, with Cuphead and Mugman losing their souls to the Devil and being forced to collect soul contracts around the isles in exchange- however-
Elder Kettle has no means to give them to fight against the debtors.
So the cups have to get crafty and negotiate for the contracts, but when that fails, they must recruit the debtors to form a rebellion against the Devil so everyone can be free from their contracts
But it’s just an idea. I have other ask blog ideas too, I just have to write out the ones that seem conceptually the strongest.
If anyone has anything they really want to see from a cuphead askblog AU, let me know!
Unpopular opinion
…What are some of the popular Cuphead opinions I don’t agree with? Of course, I hate the headcanon that Cuphead doesn’t care at all about his brother or Elder Kettle because he’s so brash and naïve. That one just makes me roll my eyes.
But I don’t think that’s a popular opinion so
Favorite relationship
I don’t ship Cuphead with anybody! He’s just a kid and has many years to figure himself out. :)
Familial relations, I adore his brotherhood with Mugman!! It makes me so happy to see this relationship explored accurately in the show. They annoy and fight sometimes, but they really do love and care for each other. I’ve reblogged this in the past, but I adore the handle grab thing they do- it’s honestly such a good animated detail.
Favorite headcanon
I’ve mentioned this already, but he and his brother stay in touch with all the debtors and as the years pass, they all kind of turn into a big family. Cuphead learns a lot of neat tricks, hobbies, and their day to day from them, and Mugman picks up their knowledge about the isles and the isles’ history!
Cuphead is the first to go and slam down hell’s door if anything ever happened to Mugman. He’s not going to let anyone, not the Devil or death, stop him from protecting his bro just like he protects Cuphead. He’s terrified of losing him or Elder Kettle!

Still thinking about chocobos, I’ve always seen them as a fusion between horses and chickens as someone with experience with both animals, so have some fun headcanons. Below a cut bc my list is long. Feel free to add on, I’d imagine some stuff from larger birds like emus and ostriches would make nice additions but my family doesn’t own ostriches, we own chickens so that’s what I know about.
- Despite the ingame sleeping model for them laying down, they probably sleep standing up like horses most of the time and just lay down sometimes. Roosting would be a bit impractical for birds this big lol. That being said, they are built much better for laying down and getting back up than horses so they could potentially lay down more often than horses do. They'd certainly sit on a nest if they're brooding eggs, so honestly any amount of laying down you headcanon probably would make sense anyway. They probably mostly lay down to sunbathe, chickens do that irl.
- Chocobos dust bathe bathe like chickens do. It’s very cute.
- There are competitions other than racing for them, maybe similar to horse shows irl. Imagine a chocobo cross country jumping course or chocobo dressage, or for western riding reining or barrel racing (I suggest YouTubing/Googling any of these you don’t know to see what they are)
- Chocobo breeds can vary. Some are bred for riding or driving purposes more like irl horses while others are bred for egg laying or meat (I could never eat one, but in world people probably do unless it’s a cultural Nope) more like chickens are. Some are also bred for interesting color combinations. You should absolutely google different chicken breeds and imagine chocobos with those feathers, I especially like the ones with poofy head feathers. Since chocobos ingame have even more colors than I’ve seen in chickens though, I’ll dip into my knowledge of parrots too and suggest those as color ideas as well. My family has a blue and gold macaw, African gray, and my little black capped conure, all of which would look fantastic as chocobo colors in my opinion. Anything is possible really, not just the solid colors we get ingame or specific irl birds.
- Much like a lot of irl kids go through a ‘horse phase’, lots of eorzean kids go through a ‘chocobo phase’ where they’re absolutely obsessed. Those who discover it’s not just a phase like myself are the ones who will work with chocobos for life, be it as a hobby or career path.
- Chocobos aren’t as bad as chickens with their pecking order, but even horses might clash a little when first introduced. Turn out groups are planned pretty carefully. Between hens mostly though, see further down for why roosters are Problematic.
- There are trail ride places that offer chocobo rides for people with 0 experience. Much like irl, this causes people to insist it’s easy to ride them bc they ‘did it once on vacation’ or 'took a chocobo porter once'
- You cannot geld a bird. To my knowledge anyway, and honestly I don’t really want to know how if I’m wrong lol. This means male chocobos are like roosters. Rooster chocobos probably have the longer fancier looking tail feathers, and probably longer fancier feathers on their head too since the ingame model has a little crest there. They also have spurs. Roos are way meaner than hens usually, so most casual riding birds are probably hens. Some show circuits might not even allow roos to enter. It also means you can only keep one roo with a group of hens usually unless it’s a really big group. Roosters irl can be ok together if there are no hens, and the grand companies probably do this since roos would have the spurs to better attack with in battle. Probably a specific breed of chocobo, bred for well tempered roos to ride into battle. They’d still have to check who they’re turning out with who carefully to make sure they get along, but it is doable. So casual riding birds, mostly hens, war birds, mostly roos. People with very large pastures might keep a roo with their hens for protection though.
- Some breeds of hen might get broody fairly often. It means they’ll sit on eggs or in a nest if there are no eggs bc they really wanna hatch some. They’re probably brats and near impossible to ride unless you manage to drag them out of their nest so they’re on their feet. Some people dunk their chicken’s butt in cold water to try and break the broodiness irl, but with a chocobo you’d probably need to just take a hose and spray it bc they’re too big to dunk. I’d imagine the broody breeds aren’t really the riding breeds though, they’re probably used for hatching eggs laid by the desired breed. They probably breed for less broodiness in riding bird breeds.
- Roosters absolutely crow. I doubt it would sound exactly like an irl rooster, some loud drawn out variation of the kweh or the little whistle sound they make maybe? I’ll leave the exact sound of it up to your imagination. Good luck sleeping on the chocobo farm.
- Just like chickens I don't think theres really a way to tell a roo from a hen on hatch until they grow their feathers in and start to crow. Unless you get a specific breed that you can tell at birth, but most chickens it's a wait and see thing. We've got two chicks rn that my family is praying to the irl genetic rng gods to be girls since we can't keep them if they're roos. I'm sure similar situations have arisen hatching chocobos before, where someone can only keep the chick if it turns out to be a hen. Potential for a Tragic Backstory if your character raised and bonded with a chick that turned out to be a roo and had to give it up.
- They probably grow at a rate closer to horses than chickens. This could really be head cannoned either way, so feel free to say they grow as fast as chickens or ostriches or something if you wanna but as riding animals this just feels too fast in my opinion. That means you probably won't be saddling your chocobo till it's at least 3 or so. Egg incubation however is probably closer to birds since horses don't lay eggs. Chickens take 21 days to incubate and hatch, google says ostriches and emus take closer to the 40-50 day range and personally that longer time feels better to me since they're much larger than chickens. Looks like there was an ostrich fact in here after all huh.
- Lifespan is probably closer to horses, chickens don't actually live very long. Horses can live 25-30 years. I knew one that lived to be well over 30 though, so there are exceptions.
- If a baby chick is raised without a mother hen irl, they need to be raised in a pair or larger group or they'll get lonely as flock animals. With our chickens, the sibling they were raised with is usually their best buddy and they'll stick together when out free ranging fairly often. Chocobos are probably like this too. Horses are also herd animals and prefer to be kept in groups usually, so really it just makes sense for chocobos to be flock oriented.
- Paddocks and/or stalls probably need a big nest box type setup for the birds to lay their eggs in. But I doubt all chocobo breeds lay year round. Second ostrich fact, google says they only lay during breeding season. Chocos not bred for laying might work more like this, but I could see it varying based on breed. Most chickens actually stop producing eggs entirely when they're older, unless they're death layers. That's a specific type of chicken that'll lay for their entire life.
This is all I can think of for now, will add more if I think of anything else. I'm open to questions about horses or chickens if people want information for their own headcanons. I'm no expert, but my family keeps chickens and I own a horse so I at least have experience working around both that others out there might not have. Don't ask me about ostriches though. Find an ostrich farmer for that.

simblr asks v2
here are my answers! find the questions here.
i wrote soo much ahaha. like however much you think i wrote, i wrote more than that. imo everything i write is gold though
1. are you going to buy the new pack (cottage living) when it comes out? no, it looks really nice but i legit never ever buy packs at launch, especially cause this one is a expansion and it will probably go on sale at some point
2. do you p*rate your dlc or buy it legitimately? buy it legitimately 👌
3. what’s your favorite world? brindleton bay, it gives like seaside cottage vibes. willow creek is good but it’s boring. 
4. if you use a queue, how many posts per day do you set it as? 3 or 4. i used to do like 12 lmaoo what even was wrong with me
5. do you watch sims on youtube? yes, i watch mainly malixa, oshinsims, and msgryphi
6. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (dream home decorator) those sectional couches look good! but honestly im kinda annoyed because now it’s even harder to have all the items filled in when i place lots from the gallery. like i’m just saying like a lot of builds will use that pack probably and if i don’t get it then i can’t really use builds/save files 
7. how many packs/kits do you own? lemme count
expansion: all - 10/10 game: 5/10 stuff: 9/18 kits: none xo
24/38 - 63%
8. what’s your origin id? is it the same as your url? 🤗 it’s in my title, it’s celeschul. it doesn’t look that nice in my title but i use celeschul in my package files and i’m guessing people search things like, “celeschul penny hair” or something like that in order to find my cc- so i keep it in there so the search results are easier. i do want to change it though..
but no it’s also not the same! well i mean it’s the username i use for cc. my origin id used to be an0nymousghost but i changed it. i wonder if anyone’s taken that one?
9. is your simblr your sideblog or main blog? main blog ✌️ my old blog @stardze​ is a main blog as well.
my old old simblr was a sideblog but it had like 1 follower and it literally a bot so i don’t think that counts. i have a multifandom sideblog though 
10. do you have a cc finds blog? i wish. i was thinking bout it earlier and that would be sooo neat but sometimes i download stuff that doesn’t have a tumblr post attached to it, and also it’s stressful to keep up with so nah
11. are you wcif friendly? yes sir. in fact i bring the trouble of wcifs onto myself but doing them even when nobody asked.
12. what’s your favorite sized household to play with? (ex. 1 sim, 4 sims) gonna have to think on this one, honestly 1 sim is really fun and stuff goes by so fast. doing stuff with astrid when she was on her own, it was much more efficient. 
for families, i haven’t done that in a while actually. 5, 2 parents and 3 kids is cute tho. why did i write this this is honestly such a hard question
13. if you have c&d, do you play with pets? i feel like i haven’t played with cats and dogs in forever. honestly i just have no paitence. noelle fae was supposed to get a cat (there’s a food bowl + cat bed in her house) but when summer vacation started, the amount of time i spent playing ts4 decreased a lot. (this doesn’t really make sense, i have a lot more time. honestly it just has to do with my recent obsession with a certain anime/manga and some other personal thing)
i did random nightmares in may though and i had pets frequently. g5 didn’t because sofia scarlett lived in an apartment, but g2/3/4 had cici, and g1 had all the cats. but that was back in march so it’s been a while.
14. what lifespan do you use? i really want to do aging off but then i feel like it drags on. but aging legit stresses me out, sometimes i just want to sit down and do some cas stuff but i only have 2 hours in real time and there’s like 4 days left till one of my sims’ birthdays. 
15. if you own a lot of packs, how many of them have you actually played through? just so everyone is aware this question was made for me
i feel like eps require a specific save made for testing them out, but the only save i’ve ever made for an ep is noelle fae’s get famous save. 
that is literally a lie - i made a save for island living with one of my 100bc kids, maisie acapella. i did actually post it on tumblr BUT then i deleted all the posts BUT i reblogged them on my alt account BUT i privated my alt account so i honestly forgot about it
i have never played through discover university or watched anyone do it on youtube, i’ve read gerbits’ story about it so i think i’m pretty qualified. i’ve always wanted to do one with periwinkle acapella but i never got around to it
another ep i know nothing about is get to work
i tried doing a eco life playthrough but i hadn’t watched any videos and i was like..what is going on. so i quit lolx d ;;;;; i mentioned it but the whimsy stories legacy was the first time i had played with the eco lifestyle features so technically i think i know what im doing
i got outdoor retreat literally on monday of this week so i haven’t played through it yet. 
jungle adventure i still don’t know what’s going on. i remember last year before i bought the pack i was brainstorming, and wanted to do a ja playthrough with luna and cedar, who are a couple who i did a random legacy with and it was all queued to post when i deleted everything (if you’re wondering why, it’s because my queue was literally 200+ posts). except this time i didn’t save them to my sideblog so i lost them. 
i still havent had a restaurant in dine out 
also never did the vet thing from cats and dogs
i have no idea what that rock climbing thing is from snowy escape but i did most of the other stuff because rn g5
city living i did through psc stage 5 and also it was the first pack i bought anyways
the rest of them are either stuff packs or i ended up playing them through casual gameplay (seasons, parenthood)
16. what do you do as you play sims? (ex. listen to music) i listen to music most of the time, or listen to commentary youtube videos because i am an alpha chad. i also used to talk with my friends on voice call but i don’t do that anymore 🥲
17. which sims challenges have you tried? random legacy, whimsy stories, perfect sim challenge, 100 baby, legacy (just the plain get-to-10-gens one), random nightmares, berry zodiac, astrology legacy, apocalypse
i feel like im forgetting some.. honestly most of the stuff i did before simblr was either 100 baby (i love that challenge) or random saves that lasted for 2 seconds. 
18. do you like the new(ish) hair swatches? nah. 
i do appreciate that most cc hairs have a true (ish) black, thank god! and the fact that the hair update is what inspired me to update and fix a bunch of hairs with different issues is pretty nice. but will i use them? no. 
plus it takes up like 5 gb? depending on how many packs you have.
19. post the latest screenshot you took 📸
Tumblr media
i live in cas
20. what is the cc/ingame hair that looks the most like your own? i think that dream home decorator side part hair looks a lot like my hair. honestly i havent see much like my hair but that one is kinda-? close
21. who is your favorite sim of yours and what is their story? noelle and alari fae i think! 
Tumblr media
link to post
noelle is blonde and has blue-grey eyes. she wears purple contacts pretty often though (because she wants to 😌)
alari has light brown hair that is kinda curly, and she’s got pretty vibrant blue eyes. 
they’re sisters, alari is 3 years older than noelle. noelle was 19 and alari was 22 when they got spotted
they worked as models when they were young adults. their jobs involved dyeing their hair blue/pink, and they would model like clothes and stuff. anyways, they were pretty successful. like not ultra famous but they had enough money to not work for the rest of their lives. 
their modeling group was made of 4 girls, the others were named paisley autumn and they were green and red, respectively. some things are: 
paisley and alari started dating during this 
autumn was a single mother to a little girl named destiny
noelle dated many people during this but never ended up finding the one <3
when their contract ended after like 6 years, paisley and alari went to go live together and noelle decided to get into acting. so thats when get famous playthrough started!
there’s more but basically they’re like oc’s with sims on the side. xoxo
22. if you use cc, are there any cc creators that you have like ALL of their items? this is such a good question! i hoard hair very heavily (my folder is 11gb) i so i have like 97% from most of the popular hair creators. 
i think i had legitimately EVERYTHING from simstrouble though, i went through multiple times to check and i also have all of her retired stuff. 
i have everything from ridgeport i think-? because of the fact that she uploaded all her stuff in one big zip. 
i think that’s it.. for a long time i also had everything by clumsyalienn, but then i ended up deleting it and only keeping my faves. 
and looking at my collection, maybe ah00b? i might be missing a couple but i at least have like 99%.
23. what’s one pack you think is underrated? dine out, it’s laggy af yes but it’s such a nice thing for my sims to do. 
24. what are your favorite sims stories/legacies? melons by gerbits always and forever
this question was inspired by this ask anyways so 
25. if you could change one small thing about ts4, what would it be? most of my suggestions are pretty complex but literally just - when you add tray files, they appear at the top. my life would be so much easier
this took me literal hours to answer

about the sonic/mega man crossover, how would Sonic figure into it? would Sonic be like a player 2, maybe have his own separate side story, or what?
i was like 'hmm i haven't thought about it much so i guess this'll be a quick ask' and then the part of my brain that's thought about sonic level design every day for the past ten years awakened and i wrote so fucking much [and tragically it's not even illustrated this time] so this is gonna be under a cut again bhjfkngbkjg
there's a handful of ways you could go about this but i imagine it'd work like classic and modern sonic in generations where every stage has one act for sonic and one act for mega man that you can play in either order! alternatively the sonic rush approach where they both have their own story and you beat both to unlock the final boss could work. there's also the idea of doing it like sonic rush adventure or mega man and bass where you pick one character at the beginning of each stage and can go the entire game only playing as one of them, but this wouldn't really work for the same reason it didn't work in mega man and bass dialled up to 11 - sonic and mega man gameplay are so fundamentally different from each other that it's almost impossible to design a level that's equally fun and fair to play through for both of them. either sonic has to slog through a slow-paced level filled with enemies that can attack him from afar with no way for him to counter from a distance, or rock is constantly tripping over his own big ol robot boots as he stumbles through a level that's throwing shit at him from every possible direction faster than he can reasonably react
sonic's gameplay would probably function more or less identically to sonic colours, i'm thinking for consistency's sake it'd pull from the ds port rather than the wii version so that the entire game is a sidescrolling platformer. all the wii-exclusive wisps [cube, hover, spikes] work in two dimensions and two out of those three are exclusive to the 2d segments so there'd be no issues with squeezing those down to a purely sidescrolling experience, as opposed to the logistical nightmare of making up a way for every single colour power to function in 3d - sonic lost world on 3ds kinda did that for red burst if my memory is correct but it's just not as fun. also i think the thing modern sonic does sometimes where it switches between 2 and 3d mid-level is clunky but that's just me
the reason i talk about wisp logistics is that of course sonic's still gonna have the wisps. nearly all of them would function pretty identically to their ingame incarnations, but unlike in regular sonic colours where you can only use certain wisps in certain spots in certain levels, they'd act more like mega man's weapons where sonic can activate and deactivate them at will until an energy gauge runs out. [i say 'nearly all' because as i mentioned in the last post about this au i think blue cube sucks ass and that'd be even more apparent if you could use it whenever you want. keep some optional ring/cube puzzles for funsies, that's fine, but i'm envisioning a heavier emphasis on the ground pound aspect of it that the game sorta glosses over so that it feels less underwhelming]
just as rock unlocks a new weapon with every robot master defeated, sonic unlocks a new colour power. of course this means that even sonic's levels would have to be almost completely reworked so that you can beat any of them without a single colour power, since i wanna keep the near-total non-linearity from mega man, but honestly i think you could make just as fun a sonic colours experience treating wisps like this. side note, i think i heard a rumour or leak or whatever the kids call it now that sonic colours ultimate is leaning towards this approach, and i have no idea if it's true or not [after all the playable tails rumour [which i had a very vivid dream about while staying at my grandparents' house one summer when i was i think 9 or thereabouts, i wanted it to be real so bad] turned out to be not real :(] but if it is that'll fucking rule
also this should've gone earlier but i can't find a good place to insert it so i'm just saying that both sonic and mega man's gameplay styles will probably lean a bit closer to each other so it doesn't feel too jarring for fans of only one series. since i love both i could just rip straight from their respective titles and it wouldn't matter but unfortunately i care about game design. the core gameplay would be pretty identical for both of them, it'd just be little differences - mega man levels naturally flow faster and the punishment for charging in headfirst is a little more gentle, sonic levels have tighter platforming and encourage a slightly more thoughtful approach without sacrificing the momentum-based gameplay. sonic's stages are a bit trickier than usual [at least on par with the genesis games] and require deliberate skillful movement, mega man's stages are more forgiving and give you more room to breathe, striking a tough but fair balance between 'sometimes challenging but rarely distressingly so' sonic and 'for the love of god please help me' mega man. each character still plays distinctly like themselves, but with adjustments to make it easier for a fan of specifically one series to ease into the other's playstyle, and also so that the constant shifting between two different gameplay styles feels more natural and less jarring
really the biggest issue that this hypothetical crossover poses in terms of gameplay is bosses. of course the robot masters are gonna be the main bosses, but who's gonna fight them? rock could take on the robot masters while sonic fights his own guys, but sonic bosses aren't nearly as interesting as robot masters by nature of each series' core design [sonic is all about the levels themselves whereas mega man is pretty much defined by the showdown with each boss]. is the boss a separate, self-enclosed act 3 you can choose either character for? what's the point of a mega man level that doesn't end in a boss fight, though? is there a forced structure of act 1 as sonic and act 2 as mega man? do they BOTH fight the robot master at the end of their act? if so, how did he come back when he got beaten the first time, but not the second? i guess i'll go with they both fight the robot master and he just teleports away from whoever beats him first or something, but it feels like an incomplete solution and it bothers me lmao
obviously the boss issue only comes up with the robot master stages and the boss rush [would you even want to do a boss rush if you've already had to beat them twice] because the obligatory egg/wily stages at the end would be fine with more generic bosses - maybe the actual bosses from sonic colours repurposed for the final levels, at least on sonic's side of things. the true final boss would naturally have you switch between the two of them in a completely different gameplay style that you have to learn fast or die trying a la sonic adventure 2 or the rushes, and almost definitely is the nega-mother wisp from colours ds

Uninstalling Inteen & Nerfing ACR
Edit 07/10/21: I’ve seen, that this post has been liked and reblogged a lot. (Thanks for that!) But I just want to point out, that I changed some parts of my “romance mod system”. The current one can be found here. The information here is still valid, just wanted to clear up, what is up to date. :)
Ok, while some of you might be interested, others might not. For all of you, who are not interested: Here, have a nice picture of the Cullroth’s home and the Sunflower Inn from neighborhood view:
Tumblr media
For the ones, who want to know, how I set up the new mods, and are not afraid of a good ol’ wall of text you may continue here:
So, one of the main-reasons, why I wanted to uninstall Inteen, is the fact, that it conflicts with everything, everybody and their cat. I read a post by simgigglegirl, where she explained, how she edited ACR to work with Romantic Standards (a mod I wanted to use for ages), so that was a motivation as well. And forgive me, but I’m getting the creeps, when an elder is heart-farting over a teen, who just aged up (so in my mindset is barely 12 years old). I wanted to get rid of that “feature” as well. ACR is hilarious at times, because sims are horny af, but I wanted the sims of twinhills to be somewhat modest. Drama: Yes. Unneccessary, stupid drama: Meh, sometimes, but -please- not all of the time. Raising the needed STR/LTR for romantic interactions was my solution, so far, but it did not always work. The love-triangle between Moira, Madleine and Hesel is somewhat disturbing. Midgethetree uploaded a mod to add a chance for death by childbirth. And how in the name of someone holy can you play a historical game without that mod? It’s also incompatible with Inteen.
Don’t get me wrong. Inteen and ACR are a great set and I used it for many years and I am very grateful, that people put their time and effort into the mods, so people, who are hopeless, when it comes to mods like myself, can enjoy the new features. And it’s all FREE. Simbology’s Inteen and ACR are still enjoyable and if used carefully do not blow up your game. They enhance your experience and will add many handy features.
Still, I wanted to get rid of Inteen, and so I did. I tried to make my progress as clear as possible, but I don’t know, if I succeeded. At the end of the post will be a list of all mods with links.
First, I made a list of the features, that Inteen had provided so far and I need for my gameplay, which was honestly more time consuming, than I thought. I dug through forum entries and mod desriptions just to see, what's even possible and/or compatible. At the end of the day I came to the conclusion, that I need:
teens, who are handled as adults, so they can get married, give birth, take over responsibilities etc. sooner
Chance for miscarriage, which is sad, but a feature, I don't want to miss
Romantic relationships only between adults/elders and teens, who are old enough
autonomy in romantic relationships, but not as strong as ACR, mainly for reproduction
And that was it. I thought, Inteen is such a big thing, surely there is more of it, that I need.... No. XD
So, after getting an idea on how to make the new set-up working (more on that later), I read instructions on how to uninstall inteen. Surely the uninstall-instructions of Inteen are there, but there are a few tips, I found here (post #15). This is, what I gathered; Quick and dirty:
Make a backup. I feel, there is always the need to say that.
Terminate any teen-pregnancy in your game (luckily no need for that in Twinhills)
Delete the Inteen-files in your program files and in your downloads folder EXCEPT Inteenimater_C. It contains the miscarriage memory. Deleting it will cause corruption, when a sim already had a miscarriage. If you don’t want to keep the memory file, you’ll have to delete the memory and all of it’s traces with Simpe and I have no clue on how to do that.
Gather and Install new Mods :D
There is a whole ton of things, I feel like, I have to explain, so you’ll understand, why I made specific changes. Alright. Let’s follow my own list of features, I needed and how I incorporated them with the new mods:
Teens, who are handled as adults & Romantic Relationships between Adults/elders and teens, who aren’t too young That was easy and hard at the same time. I use Midgethetree’s Independent Teens. Teens become for all purposes adults, but they’ll still look like teens. Perfect. Excactly, what I wanted. The only problem with that: The span of independent teens only lasts 7 days in the original setup. I use Almighty Hat’s Aging mod, so my sims spend 24 days as teens. (In Almighty Hat’s calculation one year equals 4 days. Which make the lifespan of teens 6 years, from 14 years old till 20 years old) So, 7 days is really not long enough in my setup. Luckily Midgthetree included Bcons to edit the mod to my liking. My sims will spend 8 days as young, innocent teens, who do not woohoo and if they have romatic relationships, they’ll only have them with other teens their age. The rest of their teen years (16 days), they’ll spent as independent teens, who are for all intents and purposes adults. This also gets rid of the fact, that elders/adults hit on teens, who are way to young. Any sim, who wants a college education, will spent 8 day as a teen, 8 days as an independent teen and 8 days as a young adult, because I use Dave Luv’s Faster College Education Mod, which is very much compatible with Squinge’s Mega College Pack. Only problem, mortia mentioned, when I discussed diffrent alternatives to Inteen with her, is the fact, that independent teens do not go to school. I don’t have a school in Twinhills so far, so that is not a big deal. I think, when the time arrives and I do have a school and a college in Twinhills, I will eighter have independent teens employed in their future career or will make a student career, where they can earn skill points with chance cards. I also use Cyjon’s Edukashun Iz Gud, so the independent teen’s maximum level for any career is level 5, even if they had a A+ grade in high school. The third option (which is my favourite) is to have an actual college/school lot for independent teens, who aspire to have a college degree. The best I can think of right now, is eighter to have a few apartments, where sims rent only a room and can study in the common area or to have them live at home and set up a community lot as a school. Uuh, the community lot could be owned by a sim, who is also enrolled in the education career and his employees are professors. (Who I could add as another pool of marriageable sims... yeah, I really like that idea...) Maybe an idea for the set up of guilds? I have no idea on how to include them in my game so far, so maybe that would be a good start. Maybe it will be a mix of all of the above depending on the sim’s social status? But I digress... Sorry.
Chance for miscarriage That one was easier, than I thought. I installed Chris Hatch’s Alternate Pregnancy Controller. Yes, it also enables teens to become pregnant, even if they are not independent teens. But I myself will have to make my sims reproduce, if the parents are teens. And if I don’t, they won’t. I have full control over teen pregnancies except for teens, who run away or teens, who sneak out. Midgethetree extracted Risky sneak out and Risky Runaway, which matches my taste perfectly. Teens, who rebel and do not follow the rules, aka run away from home/sneak out without their parents permission, are more likely to have a child out of wedlock. *evil cackle* Excellent.
Autonomous reproduction Frankly, when you read through simler90′s complete mod description for romantic standards, it’s so engaging and interesting, I wonder, why this mod doesn’t have more likes. (145 updates?! Come on, even if you don’t like the mod, that is impressive.) I encourage you to read the whole description, because honestly: It made me really excited! The progression of romances in the game are much slower and sims need a little time to warm up before they’ll consider to woohoo. They’ll value their existing relationships and depending on the version you get, it can be based on chemistry. You can add or remove autonomy add ons or get rid of them. It’s highly adjustable. I like this setup much, much more than ACR’s “I just met you and this is crazy, but there’s a hottub, so woohoo maybe?” (Simler90 has also a mod to overhaul the attraction system, you should check out.) Still, I can’t deny the allure of surprise pregnancy, that comes with ACR. Luckily as mentioned above simgigglegirl had the idea to use romantic standards and ACR side by side. She also uploaded the updated ACR-controller, which I think, is really kind. The problem, I ran into, was again the age span. ACR only considers the ingame age, so pretty much all adults in my game are too old to get pregnant this way. But glorious as she is, Almighty Hat included an edited version of the ACR controller to work with her age mod. Simgigglegirl asked Midgthetree for help and I follwed the instructions to edit Almighty Hat’s version of ACR. And lo and behold! It worked out for me! ACR is not uninstalled from my game, but the only option available for sims is reproduction. So, deprived romance sims can still woohoo all the way with strangers like before and knock up/be knocked up, but every other romantic encounter will take time and effort for them. Also, jealousy is handled so much better by romantic standards. The sim will always take into consideration, how serious the relationship has been before they explode and slap the cheater.
Phew. That took some time. As promised here is a list of the mods I use for the intermingling of sims (and the ones I mentioned, but not linked above).
ACR, with an edit by simgigglegirl (follow midgthetree’s instructions on how to edit ACR yourself, if you use a diffrent version of ACR)
Romantic Standards by Simler90 (+all add ons)
New Turn Ons - Young Adult + Education + Aliens + Influential + Travel + Great Dancer + Pet Lover + Great Fighter + Eye Colours + Rich + Poor by SImler90 (You can pick and choose, which version you like the most.)
Age Transition Teens keep loves from Simblogy
Chrishatch Alternate Pregnancy Controller
Independent Teens by Midgethetree
Risky Honeymoon, Runaway, Sneak Out by Midgthetree
Death by Childbirth by MidgetheTree (slightly altered the Bcon, so sims who are younger are also affected, but the chance is significantly lowered, so sims, who give birth in later stages won’t die no matter what)
PregRel by Chris Hatch - look for “pregnancy relationship change“ Original Instuctions: “ For when a sim's pregnancy first shows and those around her realize she's pregnant. If she is a teen living at home (with at least one biological parent) her parents will become furious with her and lose a lot of LTR and STR toward her. Just how furious and how much of a relationship drop depends on her school grades. Parents of A+ students will get a lot more upset than those whose daughter wasn't doing so well at school. If she's married, engaged or going steady and the baby is not from her spouse, fiancé or boyfriend and he figures that out then he will also get mad at her and lose a lot of LTR and STR. If they've never had a woohoo he'll know the baby can't be his, otherwise he needs a logic skill of 300 (out of 1000 or 3 bars) or more to realize. If he has a logic skill of 750 or more he'll also figure out who the real father is and get mad with him as well. There is also a small LTR and STR increase from the baby's father to the mother when he realizes that she's carrying his child. That is unconditional and applies regardless of if they are married or he was just a fling.” If only it would affect reputation as well *sigh*)
NoBiGenderPreferenceDecrease by DeeDee
ACR Asexual Plugin by Midgethetree (For nuns and monks, who should not woohoo)
It's the Proportion -Gestation-Based Age Duration Mod by Almighty Hat
Edukashun Iz Gud by Cyjon
Faster College Education by Dave Luv
Mega College Pack by Squinge
And that’s it. I hope you’ll find this information useful! Please consider install instructions and load order.
Happy simming! :D
