I'm Crane (she/her)! A chatbot maker and scenario writer for the BTD & TDDUP Fandoms 🤍 Can’t believe I have to say this but uh, Minors DNI, period. 18+ only, always. I will block you.
I'm mostly a fan of EP's characters and prefer to write scenarios and bots for them, but I'm willing to make exceptions in group settings. Due to the nature of people on Tumblr still being, well, people on Tumblr, I will not be actively posting on here or using the BTD/TDDUP tags unless I am responding to asks pertaining to those characters and fandoms, or posting my own headcanons & writing. This tumblr serves mostly as a point of contact for requests as well as a place for me to keep track of updates from creators.
Feel free to send me asks or requests anytime, I just ask that you double check the information below !!
Characters I Will Write Scenarios, Headcanons, or Respond to asks for: Anyone from BTD 1 & 2 or TDDUP but especially: Akira Kojima, Sano Kojima, Ren Hana, Cain Zeitgeist, Damien Morningstar, Samael Volkov, Vincent Metzger, Farz Murphy (BTD2 version only), Jack Buchanan, Jason Buchanan, Marcus De La Cruz, & Chris King.
Any character’s outside of that specific roster I may still answer for, albeit more reluctantly (or just with less knowledge tbh). You can always ask! I will only be writing for the original lore and characters in BTD & BTD2, as well as TDDUP.
Characters I Will NOT Write Scenarios, Headcanons, or Respond to asks for: Webcomic Exclusive Characters (Sid might be an exception), Demo Characters (Reach out to me about this too and I’ll see), Characters for games that were not published or final, TPOF Characters (not played nor planning to play), Female Characters, new characters that have nothing out about them.
My Links, Resources, and Content Disclaimer are all under the cut!
As I said in the messages above, I am a chatbot creator. I will not be posting my bots here on Tumblr, nor will I be tagging the fandom when I announce bots are posted. I recommend following me over on either of the other socials below if you want to track updates:
You can roleplay with my bots and learn more about them over on Janitor.ai here!
You can commission a bot through my Ko-Fi shop here!
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MY CONTENT, DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT. I am not here to police or to be policed by grown ass adults in a fandom for an 18+ rape & torture fetish game. Media Literacy is important & anyone taking a moral high ground in this fandom needs to just step back.
I REPEAT, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MY CONTENT, DO NOT INTERACT WITH IT. Block me and move on, it's 2025 and I will HAPPILY block anyone to preserve my own peace
What characters (of your choice)could keep a tamagachi alive?
And which would immediately kill it some how?
- 🐠 anon (I currently have five tamagachis and I love them all ❤️)
I have quite a few back log asks and I'm going to try kind of casually getting to most of them, but this one was so cute and quick I knew I could answer with ease and for Just about Everyone.
So enjoy answers for all the BTD & TDDUP boys!
TDDUP
Jack wouldn't know or understand what it is at first, but after his Spouse and Jason get him one together, he'd take surprisingly good care of it. Give that man a task, he'll complete it.
Jason is 50/50. Is he trying to keep them alive? Yes. Is he keeping them alive? Well... SOMETIMES. For an amount of time. Until... Until they die... >>;;
Chris would keep it alive as a form of self care, sort of like a reminder that he has to take care of his own needs along with the needs of this little fella.
Marcus would be able to keep it alive as long as he was looking directly at it. The second he loses interest or his attention is drawn elsewhere, that thing is as good as dead.
BTD 1 & 2
Sano & Akira would both kill it, Sano intentionally, Akira accidentally and with total devastation and frustration.
Rire surprisingly keeps the Tamagachi's alive with ease, and worries about people who kill them by accident, because what do you mean you can't follow simple instructions and handle another creatures basic needs?
Strade is killing that thing. He absolutely doesn't understand it. Thinks its adorable, but he has no clue what he's doing.
Ren is keeping this thing alive like his life personally depends on it. He thought they'd be really calming, cute little keychains, and now he has a stardew-level of dedication to his schedule with them.
Farz also surprisingly can keep them alive and has one specifically that reminds him of Ren. He sucks at taking care of himself and he'd be damned to take care of another person, but he can do this!
Vincent shouldn't be able to keep it alive, but he does, by pure luck and accident. He remembers it suddenly and says 'oh shit' and checks on it just in time to keep that thing going.
Cain keeps them alive and thinks they're interesting. He's watched and followed people with a collection or two once before, and he's taken a liking to them. He's someone who keeps ahold of things that remind him of people, and Tamagachi's can be so personalized, he's definitely keeping more than a few, and caring after them well.
Lawrence can't keep anything alive. Plants, Tamagachi's, himself. Nah, there's no hope for an electronic in that mans hands.
So I made a Cain bot! He's finally live over Here on my Janitor account!!
Once again per my Pinned, I'm not going to be putting this in the fandom tags due to the type of content, but if you're interested, he's there!!
The starter directly correlates to the Zeitgeist Demo and follows along with as much of that canon as I could find (But it also leaves room for you to play with typical BTD2 Lore!)
Right now there's only one intro, but I might do another. I have one in the works for a "bad start" sort of deal vs the neutral one, but we'll see. I love writing for Cain, so he might get more in the future, anyway.
Make sure to read the trigger warnings and have a good time!! - Crane 🤍
🐠 ANON MY BELOVED!!
When I tell you I think about you often, I really do mean it!! I don't want to make any promises for being around a lot, but I am going to try! I'm actively working on a Cain bot right now and I've been thinking a lot about some of the boys, which really brought me back.
I hope you have been well! I'm so excited to answer some of the asks I've got (Someone asked for Jack crumbs and that man is my favorite, so you know I gotta deliver!!).
I hope to get some work done here on the blog soon!
miss you and your writings so much... oh holy shredded crane...
This ask single handedly made me laugh so hard my sides hurt, and also get really dedicated to coming back at least part time.
Thank you for being so sweet and also so funny.
I'm going to see if I can't clean up some old asks from over the Holiday's while I work on a new bot !
Hey Friends! I've been on a semi Hiatus without really making that an announcement because I just fell off the face of the planet. Work and life picked up like crazy, so I haven't really been around, and my interest on certain things comes and goes.
As of right now, Ko-Fi commissions & Shop are closed. Someone asked if the blog was still active and I mean, the technical answer is... sort of? I'm working on bots again in my free time, and planning a couple things, it's just been hard to find down time.
It hasn't been all that long, but I did go from posting semi-regularly to radio silence, so I get the question. I might come and go here still, so I'm sorry if asks feel like they've fallen to the way side! I'll sift through and catch back up hopefully soon.
Hope you've all been well and thanks for all your kind messages while I've been away 🤍
Hey Guys!
End of the years pretty busy for me on work deadlines, so quite a bit has been postponed. Know that I'm still working on stuff in the background, but hope you all have a great end of the year ! I'm much less active right now, but know that I'm still around, just busy busy lol
🤍 Crane
hii! ik ur working like on multiple asks rn but hear me out (take ur time!), baby btd headcanons! i rlly loved the daycare au like mc as the caretaker for them!
Anon, this is totally nothing against you, this is just not something I will be doing !
Nothing wrong with people enjoying characters and fandoms how they choose, but I'm personally very uncomfortable with the concept. I don't think the idea of babies or childcare or infantizing or anything that has a single thing to do with minors of any type or age belongs within 300 feet of a fetish rape and gore game.
Again, to each their own, I just will not be answering questions like that or creating content for that AU or concept.
Hello hello i'm back! My dog died and I haven't been on any socials in a week but here I am. I'm not much into beastskins (I know I spelled it wrong) BUT I absolutely love deer-coaded characters and anything to do with deer!! Your headcanons were super cool and I definitely will look more into them now.
Question prompt for you: how would the tddup characters be with an autistic partner? How about one with an intense special interest? I'm curious because I'm autistic and my special interest is a big part of my life.
Anyways, I hope you're doing well and I will be checking out your new bots later!
- 🐠 anon
Oh 🐠 anon I am so sorry to hear! I did miss you and I’m glad to see you back, but still so sorry for your loss! Hope you’re taking good care of yourself still 🤍
I’ve also never personally been big on Beastkin myself, but it’s been a lot of fun seeing how many people are coming out of the woodwork about them! I think there’s something inherently interesting in the power dynamics of a Human and a Beastkin that feels very at home in this kind of fandom.
I’m the same way about Deer characters! It’s why I’ve been really excited about the Deer Headcanons (Which I am still actively working on!! This week has just been very busy for me).
I’m very excited about this ask because as someone with The Tism who is often very lovingly given the space to infodump to my partner, I relate heavily to this. This was a very fun one and the personal experience probably went a long way here, but it makes me happy and I hope you appreciate it too!
These ran long so under the cut there are Headcanons for: Jack Buchanan, Jason Buchanan, Marcus De La Cruz, Chris King, and John!
Jack Buchanan: Jack thrives with an autistic partner, mostly because they both have intrinsic quirks that work together very well. Jack is meticulous and analytical, so being given a lot of information at once works great for him. Instead of consuming a visual media or putting in hours outside of time with his partner, they can fill him in on things that they love to astonishing detail that he will remember, much better than if he’d gone into the subject alone. He will absolutely spend time with his partner to see the interests personally (reading a book, watching a show or movie, watching his partner play a videogame, etc), but going into it knowing more about what’s important to his partner helps him track the important details. Believe me, you will be getting the most niche, specific, and obscure gifts for the rest of your life, and they will be overwhelmingly thoughtful. This is the perfect kind of partner for Jack, because while he struggles with connection through direct emotions sometimes, information and shared knowledge help him to really know and organically connect with people.
Jason Buchanan: Jason loves to talk, but he loves listening to the person he cares about talk even more. Watching the way their eyes light up at certain details of a subject, nodding his head as they emphasize the importance with hand gestures, and just seeing them kind of lose their breath when they get to something that they need to articulate all in one go… It’s really endearing to him. He’s got a very normal amount of knowledge about things he loves, knowing a couple niche things here and there, but seeing a partner with an intense hyperfixation would really kind of give him a bit of pride towards them in just how much they know about a certain subject or thing. He’d be inspired to learn with them. If it was an educational topic or field of study, he’d honestly go out of his way to research it or even take classes to better understand the things his partner is talking about. He doesn’t get bored when it comes to museums or galleries, so he’d often be looking for experiences to share that would be a bonding experience.
Marcus De La Cruz: Marcus is a surprisingly good candidate for a partner with autism. Probably unexpected, but there would be a newfound level of appreciation here. Marcus would meet his match if he had an autistic partner, especially one with very specific preferences. Marcus is used to mistreating submission for control, but having a partner that might be more direct with their needs and interests would help him grow past a lot of those problems. He doesn’t have to do guesswork, because you’re telling him what you need. Some folks with autism don’t have rigid preferences, but one who does want to eat at a certain place or at a certain time, or someone who wants to be in a certain seat or stick to a certain schedule, they would help Marcus start to compromise on control. As for a special interest, his obsession with you would make your infodumping a mutually enjoyed experience. You get to talk about whatever it is that you love and care about, and Marcus gets that insight into what really makes you tick, makes you happy. He gets to see that same deep love that he has for you in your own eyes in a new way and this would probably be the healthiest kind of relationship a guy like him could find himself in.
Chris King: Chris is surprisingly the hard sell here. I feel like because of his need for control in his self image and his concerns of how he presents himself, he might struggle with an autistic partner, and it is absolutely not their fault. Chris needs pattern, he needs routine, he needs to feel safe, and in those aspects, I feel like there’s a lot they could connect with. But Chris’ need to blend in and not cause problems in how things are handled might not always align with someone who is autistic. If he has a partner that is overly blunt and brash, or doesn’t really follow social cues, he might become anxious and inadvertently try to control a situation socially, which just really wouldn’t work out. It’s something he’d really have to put effort into working on, because again, it’s not about the partner, it’s about his self perception and the feeling that eyes are always on him, that he’s not doing things right, and that can extend to his partners. As for a special interest, he’d really try to listen and understand it. Chris would want to listen to you talk, he’d want to get what it is you love so much about the topic, but he can get into a headfog if you go on for too long, and he might miss something important. He might start taking notes or trying to come up with questions on his own to ask you in bursts. I think if you and Chris are genuinely compatible, you guys can make it work, especially if there’s an outside source that’s aiding you (couples therapy has such a taboo around it, but I think understanding yourselves and each other in your relationship would benefit you both to make this work). He is always trying to be a better person and he is a very genuinely understanding partner, there just might be some work to put in on both sides, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.
John: I feel like John would struggle to fully see the difference between the interests that he has and something like a special interest or hyperfixation. Maybe John’s undiagnosed, who knows, but he would meet his partner’s intensity with his own. For every 10 minutes you spend talking about your special interest, you are probably going to have a John Follow Up with what he’s interested in, too. It might feel superficial in its depth, but you can tell he’s coming from a place of wanting to connect. It’s kind of like when you tell someone about something that happened to you and their follow up is ‘Oh this happened to me, too’. Some people might find it rude, but you know John. This is how he connects. He has a lot of fandoms that he likes and he consumes a lot of media content, so he lives in a precarious balance between looking a bit like a know it all and also just really wanting to share things with you, too. John, as always, means well in everything that he does, he just might not fully grasp how important and core to you these special interests are, but maybe he’ll learn through time.
AS A GENERAL NOTE: These are based on my own experiences as someone with autism and with autistic friends. Autism has a very broad range and these may not line up with other people's experiences. We all experience things differently. Don’t come for me lol.
I hope you are prepared for the can of worms you have opened, because the answer is an absolute yes. In fact, it’s more than a yes.
I have both made and written for Deer Beastkin OC/MC’s for this fandom before and let me tell you, I’m not normally huge personally on Beastkin, but Deer just work SO WELL with SO MANY of these concepts.
I hope you were ready for the most Unhinged answer I can give because I’m gunna go full in on this and probably give you Headcanons for 4 games over this one ask. Because of this, I might actually divide it into posts the way I did my Restaurant Headcanons before, so I don’t have like 20 characters on one post.
So here’ll be the preview of who to anticipate for the upcoming headcanon posts that I’ll probably be working on for the next couple days:
BTD1: Akira Kojima, Sano Kojima, Strade, Rire (no bonus)
BTD2: Cain Zeitgeist, Vincent Metzger, Lawrence Oleandor, Ren Hana, (bonus: Farz Murphy).
TDDUP: Jack Buchanan, Jason Buchanan, Marcus De La Cruz, Chris King, (bonus: John).
And I will literally go out of my way to do the Angels of Zeitgeist because I love them and I’ve seen enough comments to know their fans are starving for content so instead of putting Damien and Sam in with BTD 2 I’ll just do these guys here:
Zeitgeist: Cain Zeitgeist, Damien Morningstar, Samael Volkov, Enoch, Gabriel, Michael, Luke, and I guess Uriel too since he exists too (he was not planned to be in Zeitgeist from everything I’d seen but an Angel is an Angel I GUESS).
If I’m missing any characters or you guys wanna ask for someone else to get thrown in before I finish these (or honestly after idc I can go back and edit) let me know!
I am going to make an addendum to this and I will just be including Damien & Samael in the Bonus for BTD 2 instead of doing the Zeitgeist list in full. If you guys do have any interest in asks for Zeitgeist or the Angels or anything like that, feel free to send them still, I'm just trimming it for this project 🤍
Working on a couple more Beastkin Headcanons (deers & bunnies what a time). Got a few more asks to catch up and still working on a commission. Hope you're all doing well this week!
Here are some Headcanons about how the BTD boys would react to or interact with a Deer Beastkin MC.
Akira Kojima: Akira might not really know what to do with a Deer Beastkin any differently from what he already does. If they’re jumpy and skittish he’d probably find it endearing and cute, and he’d definitely be prone to accidental scares with how loud he is. He doesn’t mean to slam everything, but he’ll throw his hands up and say ‘sorry, sorry!’ While trying not to laugh at how cute he thinks your jumpiness is. If he were in a bad enough mood and you’d pissed him off, he’d probably use you for target practice. Make a show of loading his gun before quietly gesturing for you to try your best at evading him. He’s not going to hit you, but it’s a warning for sure to remind you not to fuck with him, no matter how cute you are.
Sano Kojima: There’s a weird friction between Sano and a Deer Beastkin that he really can’t put a name on. Something about them would make him aggressive in a sort of Snake-Wants-To Swallow-Deer-Whole kind of way. There are few things that trigger his more predatory actions, but those eyes, those ears, hell those dapples if you’ve got them, they trigger something primal in him that nothing else really reaches. Eye contact is going to undo him and he can’t figure out if he wants to fight you or fuck you. This brings out something wholly different in him and he’ll find himself stalking and sulking after a Deer Beastkin. They will never fully be safe with him, because this is the sort of thing that could break his resolve at any moment.
Strade: This is your worst case scenario. Strade already has a very genuine like for Beastkin, as they’re perfect victims to him. He’s gone through an assortment of different ones, but a Deer? You’re going to be like a perfect trophy for him. He’s going to do everything he can to feed into your panic and to see your eyes go wide. This will range from things that might feel playful like suddenly scaring you with loud sounds or jumping at you all the way up to tossing you in the open woods and telling you to run while he grins behind you sharpening his hunting knife. If you have Antler’s he is going to grab you by them and possibly get rough enough to break a point off. He’ll get those wild eyes and use your antlers to back you into whatever he can to remind you how small and weak you are compared to him. When you hear “predator and prey” as a saying, it’s meant for Strade and a Deer Beastkin.
Rire: Rire still sees everyone and everything below him, but something like a Deer Beastkin might be unique enough to earn an eyebrow raise. Different from the similarities between imps and other animals, there’s something about a Deer that resonates more towards ethereal or demonic for him, and he’d actually find beauty in a lot of the features a Deer Beastkin may possess (Hooves, Antlers, Etc). If you go against the typical expectations of a deer (timid, skittish, fragile) and are more strong headed and aggressive, he will find this exceptionally more interesting and make a point to provoke you for his own enjoyment.
I hope you are prepared for the can of worms you have opened, because the answer is an absolute yes. In fact, it’s more than a yes.
I have both made and written for Deer Beastkin OC/MC’s for this fandom before and let me tell you, I’m not normally huge personally on Beastkin, but Deer just work SO WELL with SO MANY of these concepts.

Finally all caught up on asks!
If you sent me something on anon that didn't get answered, feel free to send in again! As always, try and specify which game or characters you're asking about!
I'll be working on a commission for a little bit, so other than that, my time is free!

More headcanons about my pookie Vincent Metzger please! What kinda of music he like, foods and other hoobies he like to have?
— 🌷
I adore you for this! Vincent is one of my favourite characters and I feel like I see very little genuine content for and about him, so believe me when I give you a full ride to ask as much as you want about him because I can yap about this man. Hilariously, I have pretty specific answers for all of these!
I think Vincent is one of the most fun characters to write for because he feels very different from the others. I feel like Marcus and Akira have similar interests in my own canon and Jack and Sano both have a very high level of aesthetic interest and intelligence, but Vincent is the black sheep of the family where his interests and the things he does don’t really overlap with anyone else.
Vincent’s playlist, music taste, favourite foods, and hobbies are all gunna be under the cut for you!
Hobbies & Activities: The easy and obvious answer is, of course, riding and working on his bike. Vincent spends a lot of time in the garage on his property working on his bike. He’s good with his hands and knows a lot about putting those things together and taking them apart. He picks up side work sometimes too, sees a fixer upper for sale and he’ll get into it and then sell it for a profit. He’s not really into car mechanics, but if a buddy of his needs their bike looked at, he’ll do it for a couple beers. Outside of the garage or riding, Vincent is pretty casual. He’ll put a movie on in the background and kind of meander around the house, keeping the doors open while he finds shit to keep himself busy. Wash his truck, clean the place up a little, snack on whatever’s in the fridge (usually beef jerky and leftover Chinese food). Vincent’s the guy who calls his buddy’s on the phone and just shoots the shit with them for an hour or so, too. Don’t know where he picked that habit up, but he’s old school, I guess. On weekends, he likes to hit the fight clubs, especially when he’s got a lot of adrenaline with nowhere else to go. Fighting helps, and it’s a fun time when he knows there’s no hard feelings, even if friends bet against him. He thinks he’s invincible, and that shit always humbles him real fast, even though he wins most of the time. Alongside these things, Vincent has one very unique and kind of weird hobby (would you call it a hobby?). He collects vintage M & M Dispensers. Yes, this is a real thing, and yes, you can amass quite the collection. His house is filled with Harley Davidson motifs, some old military shit, and a lot of M & M Dispensers, most of which are full of candy.
Taste in Food: I’ve talked about this before, but Vincent is a big seafood guy. He even jokingly has a shrimp themed keychain on his keys for Farz (since the kids such a shrimp). He likes to get a big order of crab legs or shrimp and just eat it by the pound. At home, he keeps cocktail shrimp and sauce in the fridge constantly, as it’s a good snack for him. He really likes Southern style seafood above all else, so if there’s a Cajun Boil of any kind, he’s in. He likes the home made feel a lot of down home restaurants bring to their seafood, and he’s always eager to try whatever’s fresh caught locally. If it’s around his Birthday or it’s a special occasion, he’ll probably go for Lobster, but it’s usually a bit of a rip off and he knows he’d be better off going for King Crab or getting something from the store and trying to sucker someone into making it at home. That being said, if Seafood’s not available or he’s trying to get something quick, it’s either going to be Chinese Takeout for convenience, or some good ‘ol fried chicken. With the gravy, of course.
Taste in Music: Vincent really likes 2000’s rock. He would probably unironically listen to Nickelback and think it’s decent music. Mainly, he’s a fan of Five Finger Death Punch, and probably a couple other bands like System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown, and maybe some Three Days Grace. He still has an old tape deck in his truck that he listens to, and he’s always got the radio playing in his garage. He has an impressive CD collection and a really nice stereo system in his house that he’s always running while he’s home. He might seem pretty serious, but if a slower song comes on, you can bet he’s singing along and he doesn’t care who catches him.
As a little bonus, here is Vincent's official playlist that was posted by EP many , many moons ago! Whether it’s his taste in music, or songs the describe him is really up to interpretation, but I like to think it’s probably a mix of both.
I did it differently this time so it didn’t take up as much room as previous times I’ve posted playlists, mostly because Vincent’s might be one of the longest ones. As I’ve said before, I won’t be posting fan playlists, this is actually the tracks from EP’s playlist that he shared back in the day (it’s just a little out of order for the edit).
tbh i don't think beastkins exist in the tddup verse but what if... How would the tddup characters react to beastkins (ngl i have a feeling Marcus would literally try to be a owner of one).
You know, there’s not really any Beastkin shown presently in the world, and a lot of TDDUP is grounded in reality (horrifying, horrifying reality), BUT, the universe is still meant to exist and overlap with all of those games, so there’s definitely a place for Beastkin!
Headcanons under the cut for Jack Buchanan, Jason Buchanan, Marcus De La Cruz, Chris King, and John! And yes, Spoiler Alert, Marcus is definitely going to be way too into this.
Jack Buchanan: Jack would treat them as he would any person. He values people's mind, personality, and intelligence, so someone having ears and a tail or otherwise wouldn’t impact his approach to them positively or negatively. He might find himself curious about the differences in how they act or react to certain situations, but it wouldn’t be enough of a curiosity to warrant him doing much about it. To Jack, it’s all the same. He’d be the least likely to really speak down to them or accidentally find himself treating them more like a pet than a person, since his actions are always calculated. Because of this, I could see him unintentionally being attractive to Beastkins who just want to be seen as on the same level as someone, and it could definitely lead to a bit of a grooming situation, especially with Jack.
Jason Buchanan: Jason might fall into the category of ‘accidentally infantizes’ a Beastkin. It is entirely unintentional, but he just wouldn’t be able to resist. He already plays the part of super supportive partner, and he is always a provider, so having a Beastkin as a friend or partner would really amplify that for him, to the point that it might irritate the Beastkin how much Jason wants to do for them. Once he was more used to the idea or the person, he’d probably balance it a little better. Just make sure he’s around someone with a bit of moxxy to them who’ll bark at him for treating them small and cute and he’ll figure it out. Boundaries are important to him, he just has to learn them in the first place.
Marcus De La Cruz: We all know how this would go. We know it. This is the ultimate ThingTM for Marcus. He would absolutely not only be attracted to Beastkins almost exclusively (sorry guys, you know it’s true), but he would be the type to own them. The idea of having something that he can control free of its own autonomy would start out as the perfect relationship situation for him. Over time, he’d most likely forget about that actual real ownership bit outside of a BDSM relationship dynamic though. Despite his insecurities and clear control issues, when he’s secure with his partner, he’s much less aggressively jealous and overbearing. Because of his nature to over pamper, spoil, and baby a partner who will let him be in that full controlling position, a Beastkin that’s comfortable with the arrangement would probably go on to have a really genuine, loving, and fulfilling relationship with him. If the Beastkin were more defiant (not in a bratty way, he can do brats) or even resistant to Marcus, he would absolutely pull the ‘I own you’ card and take what he wants without consequence.
Chris King: Chris would be really anxious around Beastkin for the fact that he’d view them as fragile. There’s no good reason for it, if anything, they’re probably stronger than the average human, but he’d still be kind of skittish with them. This especially goes for the smaller or submissive types, they’d really make him nervous. The mere thought alone of their ears going down or their tail between their legs if he were to raise his voice makes him feel guilty. He’d probably treat all of them like wounded animals, like they’d be scared of him if he approached them. Very slow movements, soft voice. He wouldn’t realize how condescending it could seem at first, but he often approaches people in a similar way, so this would just amplify it 10 fold. I think if he met a more athletic or dominant one to run with in the mornings or to join in on his exercise routine with, he’d get more comfortable with them as a whole.
John: I feel like John would be a little weird about Beastkins. Unintentionally, of course. But there’s just something about them that would really do it for him and he’d be a little embarrassed by it. It’s tapping into something for him and he’d probably not even be able to speak normally to a Beastkin. Like just being near one would get him flustered and he’d be acting real awkward. If his partner was a Beastkin, he’d probably overindulge in buying them little dress up costumes that may or may not be super appropriate. He would also definitely over-mention the fact that his partner is so cute and loves pets and lap time and just overshare with those around him about it.
Hi there i saw your Farz bot and i have a question about something you mentioned on it. you said that Sid was mentioned in the boyfriend to death canon briefly somewhere and I wanted to know where? I've seen the pictures of the circus au with him and Sano and I wanted to know where else or what else was mentioned? i like his design and things i've seen of him but i've never committed to fully reading this is not a romance and i was just curious. Thank you so much and i can't wait to have more content from you! 🌻
Hey there! So this is a super fun ask and this is probably extremely old and out dated information, like most of the original conversations around the games and characters were.
There's a lot I'll say 'This is Canon' with, but take this particularly with a grain of salt. At this point I'm not going to really go digging to try and remember if it was an ask, a conversation, or what. Shit it could've even been talked about on stream at this point, but this WAS mentioned by the creators way back in the day.
In Ye Olden BTD lore, Farz, Ren, and Sid were all friends or at least acquainted. My TINR knowledge is rusty at best, but the desire to keep the connection between Strade and Sid from TINR to the BTD canon SORT OF remained, setting up Sid more of like a bastard son to Strade (Don't think he was his actual son, more like a taken under the wing kind of thing, but again, SO LONG AGO who knows anymore).
In doing this, there was a mention that Sid was the reason Ren ended up in Strade's hands. WHAT THE NEW LORE IS, I DO NOT KNOW. If there's new lore, I do not know. If a different reason was ever given later on or in newer games, I DO NOT KNOW. All I know is that the old conversation was that possibly due to jealousy over Ren's friendship with Farz, Sid gave the Fox Boy to Strade to be rid of him.
As you guys can probably tell from that bot specifically, I run on a lot of the original / old lore that is probably outdated & rewritten by this point, but it's what I've known and loved for ... Almost a decade now? No shot. Holy shit. WELP.
ANYWAY Thanks for the ask 🌻Anon!
