Attention, fellow Crank fans!

The Crank Casey ask blog is now open!

But before you submit anything, please take a look at the rules below: 1. Don't send any political, hateful, or NSFW questions (I personally see Crank as 16, and I am uncomfortable with these types of questions in general). 2. Please be respectful and sensical. 3. Please don't spam. 4. If your question doesn't get answered right away, please don't resort to harassment. I have my own life outside of Tumblr. 5. Be aware that this is an in-character ask/RP blog, so please don't be upset at certain responses; it's just the character talking, not me, and nothing said is serious.

That's about it. Have fun, and remember: "Never try, never fail."

How old are you crank?

"Doesn't help that I was forced to grow up too fast."

(OOC: Trying something new with this blog to see how it goes)

What are your thoughts on Tracy?

"Tracey? You mean Tracey Cruiser? Her? She's not bad. I mean, we've been friends for a while. Like... I'd say at least six or seven months now? We've got a lot in common; we both like peace and quiet, we're both, er... observant of the world around us, and we both like listening to the radio. Fender's been teasing me nonstop at the prospect of she and I getting together since he thinks we're such a perfect match. Tracey doesn't seem too opposed to the prospect... but I just need to get used to the idea of hugging and stuff being a regular thing in the future."

How do you feel knowing you have a biggest fan?

"I- Honestly, I feel honoured. I always thought I was the Rustie nobody would like or even care about, so even having one fan, let alone a biggest fan... it really makes my day."

C'mon, Crank, hold it together. Don't let yourself cry in front of them...

[crank-casey]

What were your first thoughts on lug when you first joined the rusties?

"Well, Lug wasn't a part of the Rusties yet when I was taken in; it was just me, Fender, and Piper at the time. But when he joined the group later on... well, it's safe to say I was... pretty intimidated by the guy at first. Wouldn't even pass him a glance I was so afraid of him. Heh... awkward times looking back."

[crank-casey]

Crank if you were in love with someone but you don't know what to say to them who would you talk to for advice?

"I'd probably say Rodney would be the best one to talk to for dating advice. Though, I guess Fender wouldn't be too bad of a choice either, even if he's a little... for lack of a better word... rusty, with his advice. Can't help but feel this question is relevant in some way..."

[crank-casey]

"Crank do you think I look beautiful?"

"Woah. You look... stunning. A lot better than I do, that's for sure, heh. N-not that there's anything wrong with me. Well, there's a lot wrong with me, actually, but... never mind all that. Uh... side note, y-you won't... mind that I'm kinda rusty and broken... right?"

Damn it, Crank. Pull yourself together! You've only just met her and you're already acting like an idiot in front of her. Wait... Fender did that with Loretta, didn't he? Does this mean... am I in love with her?

[crank-casey]

To Crank: Which member of The Rusties do you think is the gentlest?

"Lug. No doubt. Yeah, he's super strong and could definitely pack a punch if he feels the need to, but he's easily the gentlest here, second to Aunt Fanny, not just in the way he handles things, but also when it comes to us. I know that last part for a fact; he's definitely made me feel better during some rough times. Good guy, he is."

[crank-casey]

Who would you say is the dumbest member part of the rusties?

"I... don't know. I think all of us are pretty stupid, if I gotta be honest. I mean, we are kids, so of course we're not gonna be very smart. But for specifics... well, I wouldn't explicitly say Fender's the dumbest; he's actually pretty smart, all things considered. Same with Lug. Actually, that kinda goes for all of us. I'd say we're all equal in both smarts and stupidity."

[crank-casey]

Crank what are your thoughts on fenders skirt?

"It's bold, I'll give him that. But it does kinda look good on him, in a strange sense. Same with the heels. Maybe it's just because I'm used to seeing him like that, but the look's definitely grown on me."

[crank-casey]

Crank do you sometimes get bullied because of your wheels?

"Well... yeah. It usually happens when I'm out by myself, and it's always from bots with legs, which is always fun. It stings, especially when they decide to hit deeper than just the wheels, but that's another story. At least I can take pride in knowing that I'm not so pathetic as to waste my time bullying other robots."

[crank-casey]

To Crank: Out of all your friends, who is the most gay?

"Hmm... I'm gonna have to say Fender. Look, I know he dated Loretta for a time, but... c'mon. You see it too, right?"

[crank-casey]

Hello crank! How have you been?

"Oh, hey. I've been pretty alright. Not much has been happening here, as is the usual in this household."

[crank-casey]

To Crank: Which member of The Rusties do you think likes to hug you the most?

"Oh, it's definitely Diesel, no doubt. He hugs me at least twice a week. It's like he likes me or something, heh."

[crank-casey]

To Crank: Besides you, Rodney, Fender, Wonderbot, and Piper, who else plays the game of making sounds from under the armpits?

(I know Aunt Fanny can make sounds too, but she doesn't use her armpits.)

"You know Lug and Diesel also partake in our little armpit fart competitions from time to time, right? Other than them, I don't think there's anybody else I know who can crank (ha) out a good old armpit fart like we can."

employee celebrating the new year 🤍 I forgot to post it on time 😭😭😭

[crank-casey]

To crank did you ever have any embarrassing moments if so what was your most embarrassing?

"Oh, man. Where do I begin? Well, there's all those times I was caught changing my oil, for starters. But I'd have to say my most embarrassing moment was when Aunt Fanny caught me singing to myself in my room. She did praise me on my singing voice, sure, but c'mon, I'm sure you'd be embarrassed if that happened to you too, wouldn't you?"
