my really old ahit containment blog from highschool, now revived! kinda. former number one rumbi factory obsessor, former number one shapeshifter fan. i am a different person now and more different people will be making posts sometimes. #plural

i use they/them for hat kid along her canon pronouns sometimes because i often forget thats not canon ._.

Can we give AHIT's Badge Seller some love?

Where did they come from?

Why badges?

Where do the badges come from?

What planet are they from and what's their story?

We may never know. Maybe the mystique is half the appeal.

I don't recall a book for them.

But we can appreciate their presence and business in helping us.

Shapeshifter Fellow

Most fucked up cut character ❤️ really interesting how its role on the owl express level changed before getting cut.

Her design may not be consistent but he’s a shapeshifter dw about it. I did give her little bird claws to reference their place in the og game :))

(I’m using all pronouns for the Shapeshifter just an fyi)

Now their role in my family slop au thing!! Where Hat kid and Bow kids family are the cut characters, Tim, Thor, Shapeshifter and Timmy.

The shapeshifters ability’s are great, being able to nearly perfectly replicate another beings form. And that’s his job! She goes around the universe observing different worlds to make sure nothing catastrophic happens, especially relating to time. This means they’re gone a lot, but usually for a month at a time, exploring thousands of worlds but using time pieces to set back time to observe another world

But it will bring souvenirs back to the kids and tell stories of the animals, people and legends from these different planets. This is how Bow kid learned about cats since they don’t live on the planets they’re on.

Anyway I’m spewin some BULLLLSHIT!!!!

Ough

[twipsai]

yes theyre hollow but he doesnt have bones. give me a challenge

[gracebeth3604]

Do you think when he shape shifts into all the different hat kids during the fight they all become separate entities entirely, suddenly getting thrust into existence for a short while, and then agonizingly all get sent back together, minds and brains and personalities all melting together, lives only existing for near seconds already lost, creatures with enough conciseness to bully a minor, but not enough to understand what’s happening, not enough to know why they are insulting a child, not enough to know why they are here, ones that can’t scream, or express any of the physical and mental agony of melding and fusing together into one, because they don’t have the cognitive ability to preform those action? Being one massive creature splitting into multiple smaller ones, thus having smaller brains in the process? with snatcher upon returning to his full form, feeling a twinge of something there that wasn’t before, one small detail off with how his body looks that no one would pick up on, or his thoughts lingering on something not there, a sensation under his skin he can’t pinpoint? but it’s gone as soon as it shows it’s self, and the fight continues on, like it all never happened?

alternatively do you think snatcher can be unpeeled like a banana

[twipsai]

no not really. do you think he likes mint?

[rumbi-factory]

he cant eat. do you think he's cishet?

looking at fan content where hat kid speaks full sentences feels so strange because it feels so obvious to make them (at least mostly) mute. its such a funny nerf to their shenanigans even if it wasnt basically canon already. Why arent we (yes we) doing more with this

[rumbi-factory]

a few people are mentioning the fact that it could just be a lack of understanding the planets language and. yk. come to think of it. I think we straight up made that up? not only are we never shown them not understanding earth's language, we are shown multiple scenes of the exact opposite. and the intercom on their ship USES this language (though that could be for player convenience). while i think thatd be an interesting explanation for their silence, its not really canon in any way as far as i can tell. like people can just be mute you guys. even people who are rambunctious and chaotic. its ok.

sorry for no liveblogs ive been.. gulp... WORKING

[hatgame]

Hat kid please hat kid

Okkk sooooo

species hc: she and bow are both sentient time pieces of sorts, rewinding time when damaged enough to when they were fine and thus being kind of immortal. the only people aware of the rewinds are the undead

more under the cut

i really like shane frosts backstory for her: her parents forced her to grow up earlier than necessary and she made the decision to run away, which, leaving her to fend for herself, forced her to grow up as well. its a sad story, but hat kids not necessarily a sad kid.

i used to commonly portray her as sleepy and calm, her head in the clouds, and while i still think of her that way a lot, shes become much more multifaceted to me nowadays.. i think this part of her is mainly evoked to me thru her being showed in bed both at the very beginning and end of the game, as well as (mainly blue) time rifts feeling like dream worlds.. as well as the game always feeling incredibly dream like to me.

shes also definitely impulsive and mischevious, often growing childishly malicious. refuses to view adults as an authority and so makes fun of or otherwise doesnt take seriously any who try to assert their dominance. if another kid tries to do that it might work though

also, while understandably not a skill most kids have, shes pretty good at not taking things to heart or otherwise distancing herself from situations or people. this is something she developed early when she ran away from her parents. that doesnt mean her fallout with mu didnt hurt her though..

shes a lonely kid craving recognition and attention despite sometimes willingly pushing people away. in the very beginning of the game, although very quietly, her alarm clock voices her todo list for the day, with one of the points being something along the lines of "draw faces on rocks and pretend theyre people" which, while obviously meant to be humorous, still hints at (or outright states) hat kids loneliness and lack of desire for solitude.

that said i do not think that's why she did the bff contract lol i think she did that out of pettiness and because she thought thatd be really funny. i dont think she wanted to genuinely befriend snatcher from seeing some hidden heart of gold in it. i think it was a bit

you could say shes canonically scared of them because shes portrayed as such in one of the final journey storybook pages

i agree but actually disagree. i personally believe this is her after their first encounter, before properly understanding what his deal is, not even necessarily tragic backstory wise.. in her diary entries she expresses infinite confusion and disbelief at being forced to do evil community service. which doesnt even seem to directly benefit the scary person thing. its making her deliver mail to its among us babies. also the justification for vanessas manor is so funny hes like steal something from there. and then he doesnt even ask to keep whatever hat kid takes. also she calls snatcher weird on multiple occasions like it just completely saturates her view of him. whatever initial intimidation she had just melts away because hes just some weird person thing. not even really malicious just abnormal

which is why its very hard for me to believe shes hurt by death wish. frustrated and gamer raging? sure lol. but i feel like its like Ohhhhh so this is just genuinely what dead people hanging out equivalent is like? trying to kill each other? (quality time w snatcher) ummmmm ok.. kind of weird though lol. but fun. she ❤️ outfit

ok now regarding the tsundere thing. i do not think she is sincere there. at all. i think shes making fun of him. with the only genuine implication being that the way he is behaving is not sincere. hes not necessarily soft just different. also shes like i do not know what this thing thinks of me. were friends i think. i dont know. (i think they become actual friends later on :) )

with empress i think shes actually intimidated by her, regards her pretty highly and gets actually scared and embarrassed when trying to get what is very clearly her stuff back. but not scared enough to not return to the metro or mess around eating food on the clock. i think they eventually make up

[harps-roost]

She was just living her life

[harps-roost]

i like drawing her kinda like snufkin from moomins. same shape. big hat big boot.

Prince and Snatcher renditions in my design style, I'm not sure I like this because it's a little too different. But I had fun
