Hi, I feel like I should make an intro post, so here we go
Hi my name is boogercore. You can call me booger, oogerbooger, oogyboogy, literally anything ridiculous I find funny
I like to make art of fandoms I'm in. Currently as you can see, my main interest is Phighting. My interests can fluctuate eventually, but it takes a long time.
I have my anon asks off, as while I do like tumblr as a whole, I don't vibe with anons asking me random shit or just saying some bs- so, uh, sorry!
Occasionally I will jot down headcanons I have of characters.
I will use caps a lot in excitement, just an fyi.
I post kinda infrequently, so, that's probably why my page will kinda go inactive for a while. Sometimes artist's block kicks my ass.
I have a basic criteria of DNI, like yknow, dni if ur a homophobe, transphobe, racist, you name it. I do block freely if someone makes me uncomfortable, or makes posts that make me feel uncomfy, so there's that.
Ik I said anon asks are off, but I genuinely like interactions on here. I like it when ppl reblog my art with some additional tags of theirs, or when ppl reblog headcanons I post and add onto it- it makes me happy :)))
I promise i don't bite either, no matter how edgy my page looks. It's pretty hard to piss me off.
Skateboard and Vinestaff would be really good friends/ a really good ship, or would at least understand each other pretty well, hear me out:
-Both were essentially outcasted. Different ways, but still:
Vinestaff was exiled from Darkage Clan by the members themselves
Skateboard was basically exiled out of Splintered Skies by Windforce
Both had inphernals who gave up opportunities in their own lives to be there for them.
-Shuriken and Slingshot gave up the opportunity to be better warriors in Darkage Clan to move to Crossroads for Vinestaff's safety. (Shit, I mean, they were already risking everything by visiting her at night before they moved)
-Boombox gave up the chance to be accepted as one of Windforce's warriors to save Skateboard, jumping off the island without hesitation.
Perhaps Vinestaff and Skateboard could bond over the fact that they feel like they can never repay the kindness that was given to them by their loved ones.
Man I can’t draw humans or human like characters at all bro (don’t mind her eye i’ll fix in in a few months when I feel like and I wouldn’t say I’m that good at art) but viney :D! my third fav phighting character she’s very great and I love her dearly
Hi, this is a post where I summarize basic info about Phighting Lore hooray
I would heavily recommend going on the Official Phighting Wiki for more detailed and up to date information. Start with reading about the Inphernals, the regions, and each of the in-game Phighters.
Remember, the url is phighting.wiki, not phighting.fandom.com. The fandom wiki is not official and contains a lot of misinformation and also fandom.com sucks don't use it.
I would also recommend reading Death In The Family if you haven't already. Gives great insight into the world of Phighting. Speaking of which...
Phighting, Basically
Phighting takes place in the Inpherno, the world where all Phighting characters reside in.
There are four regions in the Inpherno: Playground, Blackrock, Thieves' Den, and Lost Temple.
Playground is separated into two parts: The Splintered Skies, and Craterdust Capital. This separation happened when Windforce took out the land of Playground and flew it up into the sky where it now floats as an island. She claimed the island and now the Splintered Skies faction is located there. Craterdust Capital, an urban city, is what is left of Playground all the way on the ground.
Blackrock is located at a place with icy mountains and is ruled by the Korblox Administration. Anyone that spawns there is immediately put to work as a scientist, engineer, or a soldier, though all soldiers were recently replaced with Biografts.
Thieves' Den is an archipelago where multiple clans reside, the only known one being the Darkage Clan. The Darkage Clan are a faction of warriors that rule over Thieves' Den.
Lost Temple is a hot desert. There is currently a civil war within the region, being fought by the Redcliff Wranglers and the Church of the TRUE EYE for control over the Lost Temple Spawn Point. These two factions both formed as a result of the Scorch. The TRUE EYE church is a cult worshiping an unknown deity (not any of the Swords). It is founded and led by Father Overseer. The Redcliff Wranglers are a group of inphernals against the TRUE EYE church.
Another notable area is the Crossroads, which is a city right in the middle of the four regions and that provides a 4-way passage between all 4 regions.
Each region has at least one faction ruling over it (ex. Blackrock is ruled by the Korblox Administration faction) but some have multiple (ex. Lost Temple has the Church of the TRUE EYE and the Redcliff Wranglers).
Inphernals (I would recommend reading the wiki page for it because i intentionally left out a lot of info for easier reading in this post)
Most of the Phighting characters that you see are Inphernals, which are a fictional species special to Phighting.
Inphernals have achromatic skin colors (that is, white, grey, and black) and horns that can be any color. They also always spawn with their own gear, usually originating from the ROBLOX catalogue though the existence of Inphernals with non-ROBLOX gears in Phighting has been confirmed.
Inphernals do not reproduce like other organic beings. Instead, they are "spawned" through Spawn Points. Each region has one Spawn Point, as well as the Heights, making a total of 5 Spawn Points in the Inpherno.
Most Inphernals spawn randomly, though two Inphernals can also force a spawn to happen by sacrificing some of their power to a Spawn Point.
Inphernals are all genderless and do not posses reproductive organs. However, due to how gendered other languages are in the real world, each Inphernal have a set of pronouns selected and are referred to as that set in official material for the game. However, all Inphernals use ANY PRONOUNS and you are free to refer to each Inphernal as anything.
Other Notable Things
There are 7 Deities, also referred to as the Swords. They are a group of very powerful inphernals (each deity uses a sword from the SFOTH ROBLOX game made by Shedletsky) that are immortal but can be killed. They all also have wings and bleed ichor instead of normal blood.
The Watchers are a humanoid species separate from the inphernals, created by Ghostwalker, a deity. They were made to observe and record the history of the Inpherno. Ghosdeeri and Doomsekkar, for example, are Watchers. There are a total of 7 watchers, and each one is based off of the Pumpkin Head accessory items on ROBLOX.
The Scorch is a massacre that took place 10 years before the present day, where Firebrand burned a major Lost Temple city, killing many people and destroying much of the city. Firebrand disappeared shortly after the Scorch.
Phighting, in-universe, is a sport that many inphernals engage with (these inphernals are unsurprisingly called Phighters). The tournament that takes place within the game is run by the idol duo, Flipside. The winner of this tournament will be crowned the "king of Crossroads", taking the place of the missing Firebrand. (DISCLAIMER: The actual Phights within the game are not considered canon to the tournament in-universe)
Energy Crystals are a powerful material developed by Medkit and can be used as a power source or to heal. Subspace later developed his own version of the energy crystals.
Medkit's version of the crystals are used by Medkit for healing, and also function as a power source for Scythe's modified gear and the prosthetics of both Scythe and Rocket.
Subspace's version of the crystals are used to power the Biografts. The Korblox Administration has a supply of them that are often stolen by Coil, who uses some of the crystals to make himself stronger and gives the rest away back at his region.
Disproving Common Misconceptions
Vine Staff is not turning into a tree. Her condition is limited to her arm. You can read more about how her wooden arm affects her here.
There are no confirmed wars in Inpherno's history. Playground and Blackrock have not been in a war. Zuka is not a war veteran, though he did serve as a soldier for the Korblox Administration before leaving Blackrock.
Subspace was the one who initiated the fight between him and Medkit, Medkit fought in self defense and was the one who caused Subspace's infection and illness through that fight.
Thats all, I think!
If there are any corrections or extra info you think I need to add, feel free to reply to this post or contact me through DMs! This is supposed to be an introduction as well as a place for resources related to Phighting Lore so I couldn't include everything, sorry!
You are also free to make your own additions in the reblogs.

full thing will hopefully be done by or before the 31st of may :3
Anyway, I've had some fun headcanons stored in my head about her, it's about time I shared them too :)
-My rendition of Vinestaff is very into crystals- more spiritually than casually though. Because of this, she has a pretty sizable crystal collection in her room.
-Spiritual healing is what she's the most into. However, do NOT ever confuse that for a lack of knowledge in medical healing. She knows a lot about first aid, probably the most out of the trio.
-In addition to not only being good at identifying plants, she's also really good at identifying any sort of crystals. Give her one look and she's already telling you the name of it.
-On a side note, I like to headcanon that the crystals that Medkit and Subspace have are manufactured- so, if Vinestaff ever sees them, she's gonna have a confused look on her face.
"These crystals... they're so odd, I don't think they're real ones like you see in nature..."
-Her room would have a tapestry both on her ceiling and one of her walls. She's also the type to keep incense sticks in her room too. Oh yes, it would also have vines hanging too, but she has to trim them once in a while too.
-Vinestaff is the type of gal to meditate. She can do this for prolonged periods of time. Sometimes that's led to either Shuriken or Slingshot thinking she's asleep sitting up.
-Meditation is her form of de-stressing. She used to do it often in the jungle when she found herself being stressed- before her siblings came to visit her nightly.
-Speaking of Thieves Den, when Vinestaff was exiled, she saw some creepy shit at night. I like to reckon there's folklore about creatures out in the jungle. Vinestaff hates talking about anything Thieves Den related, however she finds it fun to tell stories of weird things she's seen in the forest.
-Sometimes because of her experience and the folklore she used to overhear, she does question if they were real or not. But she won't know for sure.
-More on Thieves Den, I imagine before Vinestaff got fully exiled, she had to face pure passive aggressiveness from other inphernals, if they weren't outright spewing hate at her. Older inphernals in Darkage taught the newspawns to stay away from her because she is "cursed."
-There was one incident where newspawns were throwing pebbles at her. When she tried to get them to stop some of the other Darkage members villianized her. She really hates remembering that.
-interestingly, Vinestaff is extremely good at spotting when an inphernal is being outcasted in a group or community, she knows the signs like the back of her hand, from the body language of the other inphernals, to the words, to the mannerisms.
-she once saw an inphernal in Crossroads being ostracized from their group. And even though she's usually unsure about how to talk to other inphernals first things first, that was one of the first times she talked to another inphernal outside of her family on her own volition.
-Vinestaff never saw that inphernal again afterward. But she hopes they're doing okay.
-I like to headcanon that if she needs to, she can swing her wooden arm at full force if she needs to knock an inphernal back, since in my design, her wooden arm is more massive than her normal arm. She has to wind up slowly for maximum efficiency.
-The bottom of her gear is pointed sharp. She used to have to sharpen it when she used to hide away in the jungle for self defense.
-Strangely, everytime she's sharpened the gear, the bottom of it seems to never shorten, like it's already growing back when it's shaved down to be sharpened.
-Her wooden arm has a habit of overgrowing, so, she had to buy an axe. It's horrific to see her chopping away at her wooden arm, even though there's knowing she can't feel anything on that arm.
-Vinestaff's large wooden arm also prevents her from a lot of tasks. Like, she could wash the dishes, it'd take a million years on account of how careful she has to be.
-There was one time she tried to pick up a pen with her wooden arm. She was starting to get a bit frustrated, but thankfully Slingshot was there to do it for her.
-Though, she partly feels bad. She never said much, but she's acutely aware of how much more... unhappier Shuriken looks, and how stressed Slingshot looks ever since they moved away. Part of Vinestaff accepts and acknowledges that she can't change the way she was spawned. But sometimes she has those thoughts of, that, if she was spawned with both arms being normal, then maybe, her siblings wouldn't be miserable.
-Basically, Vine feels she ruined her siblings' lives. She questions what it would be like if things didn't turn out the way they did. Would they be happier if she wasn't the way she was? Maybe they should've left her in that jungle, she would've understood...
-BUT she makes an effort to not dwell on those thoughts. Instead, she tries to help Shuriken with whatever he needs, and Slingshot with Thieves Rest. All in an effort to repay them for their kindness and to try and make their lives a bit better.
-Interestingly, Vinestaff's tears can heal small wounds and in a large quantity, revive plants. She's never known why it can happen. But it just does! However, these tears can't heal bigger wounds. I mean, maybe they could if she had enough? But guys, I don't think she'd wanna spend hours crying.
-Yes, she does keep bottles of them in her room.
-If inphernals did have hair, her hair would be exactly like Rose Quartz's hair from Steven Universe.
-Vinestaff rarely, and I mean RARELY ever gets angry. You know you crossed a line when even she's mad. Though, just because it's rare for her to be mad, doesn't mean she can't be stern. She's a big sister, after all!
-Even though Vinestaff longs to meet another inphernal with the same condition as her, deep down she also just wants to meet an inphernal that's gone through the amount of social outcasting she has. She just wants to meet an inphernal that understands her fully. Not as the "cursed" inphernal. Not as the eccentric one in Crossroads. But just her.
Hi guys, in recent events of the Shuriken remodel I've decided to finally share my headcanons of him :3
Shuri icon by traspaws on Pinterest! https://pin.it/2gUL4nC58
-Contrary to his vigilante look in the game/canon lore of Phighting, Shuriken will actually paint his horns different colors each night. One night you might see Silver Shadow with yellow horns. On another night you might catch him with dark blue horns, all of that fun stuff. If he's really feeling like it, he'll pull out the metallic paints.
-Sometimes he'll make little additional horn add ons, like sometimes adding smaller spikes onto his horns- it just makes it harder to figure out his identity, since he does realize someone could connect the shape of his alter ego's horns to him.
-Shuriken finds painting his horns fun. He doesn't like when he has to take the paint off at 3 in the morning 💔
-In his daytime outfit, I like to headcanon Shuriken has a crystal bracelet he wears made by Vinestaff. He specifically requested Malachite as the crystal.
-His tattoo is insane when you think of the process behind it. In my imagined version of things, brotastic went ALL THE WAY. From his fingertips, the skin between his fingers, and even the underside of his left arm (including his elbow) he went all the way to make sure the pattern reached around to his collarbone. He really wanted to make sure to commemorate his sister in such a meaningful way.
-Speaking of tattooing, he's very good at it. He even did a little lotus tattoo for Vinestaff on her upper right arm. Hell, he's even done one on Slingshot too!
-He would not be the type to do tattooing as a business. He sees it more as a sacred sort of thing, something he wants to do for family or close friends (if he had close friends 💔)
-This makes me think of something, I bet Shuriken is really good at art. His Silver Shadow fit was made by himself, and he did his tattoo all by himself- I imagine he's also really good at drawing too, so he has some small sketchbooks he keeps around. He doesn't really have the energy to draw sometimes, but somehow, they still come out good.
-Only reason you wouldn't know he's good at art is because Shuriken is too humble about it. He'll tell you how he can't draw a circle yet he's presenting you with the most jaw dropping sketch of one of his siblings or one of Slingshot's friends.
-Shuriken's habit of falling asleep in the middle of the day has gotten him in some situations. You could say he's garnered a little bit of a reputation that precedes him? Obviously he's not that well known, however ask the right inphernal in Crossroads and they'll cite how they've seen a "strange inphernal fall asleep on a powerline, tree, or literally anywhere."
-This also makes Shuri a bit insecure too. As stated in the wiki, he doesn't have much friends. So, having a bit of an odd impression on some inphernals doesn't make that better 🥲
-He's also unaware of the small cult following he's gained as Silver Shadow... until he sees a forum post online one night. But Shuriken doesn't really feel insecure about that- in fact, he's actually kinda happy about that. It's only a small motivator to keep doing what he's doing. Though at the same time... he worries about that fan following becoming a bigger thing over time...
-A little more of an angsty idea I have, is that Shuriken absolutely hates how much Slingshot pushes himself for Thieves Rest. And he feels bad for Vinestaff also being unable to make friends. Though, he's unable to articulate that well through words. He said the wrong thing to Sling one time when he was trying to get him to relax, and it ended in an argument. The two made amends later, but Shuriken never forgot about that.
-Shuriken, from last I remember in the updated wiki, does not care about himself. Not in the physical way, but more or so in his sentimental way. Adding onto the previous headcanon, he always blames himself silently, even if it were not his fault. If you're someone important to Shuriken, and get into a fight/argument with him, chances are he's saying it wasn't your fault, but his own.
-When you ask him if he would die for Vinestaff and Slingshot, he's full on saying "yes." No hesitation, nor explanation either. If it came down to it, he would be so down with giving up his life for them.
-This is also why he feels so guilty for his secret desire to go back to Thieves Den. He'd be so willing to give up the prospect of becoming a great warrior in the clan a thousand times more for the safety of Vinestaff and Slingshot. But at the same time, he really does want to go back. That again, which he feels so guilty for.
-I guess what I'm trying to say, is that Shuriken comes off as very altruistic to me.
-Ok, angst time over, there was a few images I saw from Sodakettle's twitter. It was for the Crossroads remodel. Specifically Shuri, Vine, and Sling's shared apartment room. In the main room they have, i believe there's a nintendo switch on the table. I headcanon that belongs to Shuriken.
-I feel like if Shuriken gave it more thought, he would probably get into ceramics. It sounds very fun and interesting to him. But, once more, he just doesn't have the energy nor the time for actually doing sculpting/ceramics.
-This guy would be into bugs, i know he would. Butterflies are personally his favorite, but he really likes any kind of bug. He's that one guy peacefully putting a spider outside while everyone else is freaking out about it.
Ok. These are all the headcanons I have for Shuriken, I really love this little guy ❤️🩹 if you guys got anymore headcanons I'd love to hear them.
