Sooo, I’ve updated my “ Yes , No , Maybe “ list for when y’all request from me . . .
And on the “ Maybe “ list , I have added ;
Gear play ( Phighting ) on it .
Now I do not know if it counts for smut , nsfw , 18+ or as those on twitter I think ? And other places use for suggestive stuff for Phighting , Phrotting (?) I need more clarification on what gear play is classified as . . . Sigh . . .
But I have added it in ! As gear play is slowly but surely growing on me . . .
But y’all didn’t hear that from me . . . Noooo . . . .
But if y’all want to request from me , go ahead , I shall update my writing list as well . . . 👀
gearplay can be considered 18+ for some people! (personally i tend to see it as 16+, because of how the Inphernal species is) but its still at the very least really intimate with suggestive undertones. So it depends on how you want to depict it ^^
if you're looking for a non-18+ version of gearplay, i believe gear-handling is an appropriate term! its created by individuals on Twitter who didnt like the suggestive undertones with gearplay!
its still an intimate practice, but without the suggestive-ness :]
✦ Phighters & skins ranked on how good of a spouse they would be imho - a tierlist [explanations beneath cut]
✦ Be aware these are my interpretations/thoughts/opinions !! you are allowed to disagree lol
✦ Skins may grouped together since I don't think the behavioral differences are big enough to warrant listing them all out separately
✦ Perfect Partner
✦ Egobworder - He would spoil you and show you off, he's proud of you and to him you're perfect, absolutely flawless
✦ Stargazer - Similar to Ego, he teases you about your grace far outshining any star, generally very romantic
✦ Every Boombox Skin. It's Boombox /silly.. He goes the extra mile for you; breakfast in bed, songs or playlists made specifically for you/based around your taste, making sure you feel special and cherished whenever he can, Boom loves you!!
✦ Fantastic Spouse
✦ Sword, Sci-Fi, & Sunburst - Sword is a little clumsy but overall means well and has a wonderful personality, aside from maybe being a little embarrassing for both you and himself at times, he strives to make sure you know you're loved and cherished - Sci-Fi and Sunburst are a little more smooth about this, with Sunburst's only downside being the almost constant heat of his skin making him a little too hot to cuddle for more than a few minutes
✦ Slingshot, Cozyshot, Cursedshot - Treats. Lots of treats, baked goods, presents, gifts, ect. The spoiling varies depending on the Slingshot skin but they all take pride in being able to call you not just lover, but spouse
✧ The only thing keeping them out of perfect tier is Sling's work schedule, Cozy's specialty for Winter not working so well in other seasons, and Cursedshot being intimidating
✦ Vine Staff, Valley, Vine Splash, and Berry Staff - Similar to Sling Vine's got her own downsides, being hesitant to go anywhere public together out of fear of the ridicule you'd face for being associated with her. That doesn't stop her from being incredibly sweet when she's feeling safe and you're away from public eye - plants, gifts of flowers, simply just holding you close is enough for her. Valley & Berry aren't as sheepish about the public, with each often treating you to garden dates/strawberry based desserts respectively. Splash is [assuredly] limited to the water, which complicates things, though she loves you all the same and works towards finding a work around with you
✦ Great Spouse
✦ Katana, Kramptana, & Cybertana - Katana treats you very well, though loses points for a reserved and closed off nature making intimacy [cuddling & similar] a little awkward and in some cases feeling one sided. Kramptana has the added bonus of the whole krampus things going on [iykyk]
✦ PJ Rocket - Ranks slightly higher than base Rocket for gentler & sweeter nature, being just a little bit too sleepy to be as angry for so long. Bonus points for being extra cuddly
✦ Seashot - !!! He brings you shells and trinkets from the sea floor!!! Similar issues to Splash with the slight bonus of being able to traverse on land easier/stay a little longer! Unfortunately, fish smell debuff ranks him lower though [maybe you like that though.. you do you, I won't judge]
✦ Thornstaff - Not afraid to be seen in public, generally perceived as being up to no good however which leads to a lot of awkward altercations
✦ Shark Coil - Ranks slightly higher than base Coil for being more laid back & playful, only slightly less of a troublemaker
✦ Good Spouse
✦ Marshmallow Sword - Extra sweet [literally] if a little hard to understand at times, he loses points for being dangerous to touch [sugar burns 💔]
✦ Skateboard, Snowboard, Surfboard - He would put his life on the line for you!! However that does not negate his association with Coil which would probably result in either him or you getting dragged into whatever he's got going on </3 He just barely misses great tier but honestly? I'm half counting him there anyways 😭
✦ I do not like Moaitana
✦ Ban Hammer - Maybe controversial but given his work and general preference to keep to himself, he doesn't really seem like the intimate type. You'd be protected 100%, life would be comfortable and you might get to hear a little SFoTH gossip every now and then, but romantic gestures aren't frequent until he starts adjusting to things, which will take a while
✦ Rocket - He's loyal & hardworking, gestures of affection might be a little clumsy but he means well and wants the best for you! On the other hand he lives with his dad he's hot-headed and confrontational by nature, which could cause some strain [he would absolutely try to work things out once he calms down though]
✦ Hyperlaser, Witchlaser, Seraphlaser, Yulaser - Very. Very closed off. His speaking patterns and tone lead him to come across intimidating or unapproachable, which can make it a little rough to tell if he's upset, being sarcastic, or genuinely trying to swoon you. Being unfamiliar with romantic gestures & intimacy does not help his case
✧ Bonus intimidation factory for Yulaser & Seraphlaser
✦ Shuriken, Shurifin, Shurilong, Astroken - He's very good to you when he's around, if drowsy and self-sacrificial to his own determent, but that will not save you from being teased and even lightly pranked. His secrecy about his alter ego & the suspicions that could cause lose him some points sadly </3
✧ Astroken gets bonus cute points for being clumsy and a space nerd
✦ Medkit - Medkit is one of the least romantic inphernals in the inpherno, I'm sorry, but that will not stop him from letting you know he still cares about you .. his love for you doesn't stop him from scolding you when you do something stupid either though </3 intimacy is rare and romantic gestures are small, not out of a hidden disdain, but out of a sense of fear
✦ Piratekit - He lost points for being a pirate and british at the same time Piratekit is in a similar field to Medkit with intimacy & romantic gestures being rare, though this time around its thanks almost entirely to him being focused on sailing, treasure, and the crew
✦ Coil - Criminal. Very likely cause stress & strain, he also can't be around frequently and now that your name is tied to his, anyone he's wronged likely won't be happy with you either .. on the other hand, as a bonus, you've got protectors in the form of Skate & his gang
✦ Okay Spouse
✦ Everyone in this tier is too emotionally closed off or hollow to have a flourishing relationship, with Follower Sword & Katana practically being mindless husks for a certain higher power, Heretic being recently traumatized and actively on the run, Neo Katana being from Blackrock and seemingly being a soldier similar to Hyperlaser, and Medcarrot being faced with humiliation .. you get it. Exceptions being Hoverboard, Franken & Sunken Hammer, and Sianach, who rank here for their own reasons.
✧ Hoverboard is like Skate if he had the ego of Ban /hj
✧ Franken Hammer is self explanatory, you'd have to teach him a lot about intimacy and love and even then, its highly unlikely he'd act on it without being told to or reminded of it
✧ Sunken Hammer would joke about pulling you to the bottom of the ocean, and because he can't see [nor hear] your reactions too well, wouldn't pick up on it not going over well
✧ Sianach used to kill you for saying no to his buy question. Also the creature he's based on is known to be carnivorous and hunt humans .. not to accuse him of cannibalism but y'know..
✦ Dangerous spouse
✦ I feel like this one's self explanatory - being with these inphernals is inherently dangerous for one reason or another, rather that be Scythe's affiliation with the church and willingness to kill just about anybody if asked to, which would include you, or Subspace with his condition & the fact he can't take the mask off lest he poisons you by accident

we need more hornplay/gearplay fics and artwork in the Phighting fandom... i swear to sfoth! it's a very interesting concept and it would be great if people explored it more ^_^u
I like to think horn care is very different and dependent on where you come from, as well as occasion and money bracket also affecting it.
• Blackrock is BIG on looks and perfection across the board, so a while back they passed a law requiring every inphernal in blackrock to clean and polish their horns to the standards of their local watch or countymen. With this law, the blackrockian government also started to subsidize blackrock made horn polish so it'd be cheap enough for anyone to buy and high quality enough to not accidentally cause flaking or smudging. Blackrock is the only faction with laws like this.
• Playgrounders dont particularly tend to care for their horns, most of them just giving the ol' rinse n go. Fully clean horns are seen as a business man's look. Polishing is almost unheard of. Though, horn decoration and piercing is very popular.
• Thieves Den inphernals tend to use homemade stuff to clean their horns or polish them, they dont really like the synthetic stuff in other places. Beeswax is a common horn polish and usually gives horns a slight yellow tint that's seen as pretty in thieves den. Jewelry here is usually handmade and very much an accessory and is simple
• lost temple has a very big divide on horn culture depending on if you're rich or poor. The wealthy usually polish and decorate their horns regularly, using precious metals and gems that are abundant in lost temple's climate. The poor usually can't afford to do anything more than a good wash or rinse, and the sand usually dirties them up again anyway. Polishing your horns is seen as a wealthy person's thing.
gearplay-hornplay preferences for each phighter (1_1)
i don't know if i should place slingshot and subspace in any categories or keep them in an 'i don't care' zone [if anyone has any ides, then let me know!]
Depending on the ranged, but ones like Rocket, Zuka, Slingshot, and Hyperlaser are more likely to have their arms out in that T-rex arm pose because it makes it easier to immediately start firing, and it just feels natural. Scythe also does this sometimes.
Melee
If one was a dagger user, they are more likely to have their hands behind their back, because daggers are used as like surprise attacks.
However, ones like Sword, Biograft, and Katana (also kinda scythe) all either walk like their holding their weapon or have one hand at the ready.
Support
Boombox gets his own part because I love him. They usually have their hand near their shoulder, both because it feels right and because it makes him seem less threatening.
Other than that, supports usually have their hands in front of them in case they need to do some quick healing/summon their gear.
just came up with a crazy phighting au or whatever
so my headcanon/theory is that broker's gear is decoy deploy and the broker in crossroads and the broker in banlands and the broker in the intermission area are all different brokers
what if the real broker is like. half-dead somewhere. and sees the world thru her clones because she isnt able to go out herself.
the only one who knows about this is scythe. no one else knows. accept maybe father overseer but it'd be cooler if he didn't. because yuri.
