why hello there

something like an art account

[sluggisms]

I am also fascinated by Stone' "idk how to describe it"... could you elaborate on that? Kicks my feet and giggles

yeah sure! so stone is masc and likes presenting masc but doesn't rlly conceptualize a difference between masculine men and masculine women for instance. to him those are Obviously the Same Thing (and because he's stone man he is never ever budging from this stance <3). so like. he identifies as a man but he'd just as easily identify as a woman because he doesn't define those concepts as being distinguishable from one another. which is not the same thing as him being bigender or something. stone's just stone... so yeah, not rlly sure how to short-hand that.

obsessed with how if you remove the clouds in gyro man's boss fight, he just fucking. leaves

I don't exactly have art, per se, but I did make profiles for all the Robot Masters (with some fun headcanons about their jobs). Here's Gyro Man's, since you seem to like him in particular.

I guess i've been gyroposting a lot recently huh 😭 very cool, i love character profile-type stuff. Reminds me of what you'd see in a manual or perhaps at the end of a comic book. Also, if it's not your art, who made the illustration here?

I'm a big fan of Mr. Uber romantic being aromantic without realizing... source: we identified as hyperromantic for YEARS without realizing we were just aro and mistaking strong platonic attraction for romantic attraction...

Coaches don't play 💯

HEHE! I do love aro star quite a bit, especially with how he's portrayed in rockman-san. I think he adores the idea of romance a lot more than participating himself. I'm glad it resonates with you too! Happy pride!

I love the idea that Light and Wily’s rivalry is actually on equal footing. I know a lot of the time it’s portrayed as Wily stealing robots and ideas but it’s so much more interesting to think that he really is just as smart as Light but in different subjects.

Light excels in coding, he’s able to create robots who can think and feel and have their own thoughts and abilities, he lets his children help him around the lab, he’s a collaborative man who values other people’s input on his work whilst also taking a lot of pride in what he makes.

Wily is the opposite, while he is just as good at coding as Light, his real strengths lie in the building of robots, in the theoretical and dangerous weapons he builds for them. The coding of their brains is an afterthought to him, which is likely why most of them are incredibly reckless with the weapons they were given.

The idea that the Second Numbers are based on the Firsts makes so much more sense to me when working with the theory that Wily saw them and was inspired rather than stole their blueprints. I think that makes his and Light’s dynamic far more appealing as well. They used to be so close and honestly I don’t think their friendship ever truly went away, and no matter how much he’d never admit it, I think that Wily is still inspired by Light, and I think the reverse is true as well.

In certain glimpses we get into the future of the classic timeline, it’s implied that Wily eventually just gave up his world domination attempts, and I choose to believe that in those timelines, he gave it up because Light passed away. Wily is such a vindictive and competitive person that I think that the rivalry with Light is the reason he keeps on trying. Maybe the first few attempts were earnest, but eventually it just seems like he wants to compare inventions with his old pal Thomas.

Whose super fighting robot can hold his own the best? Whose robot masters are superior? When Dr. Light points out what amazing work they could do together, I think that Wily believes him, but I think, in a way, he already feels like they’re working together.

in the future napalm man becomes a highly successful youtuber where he makes videos meticulously analyzing the historical accuracy of those catapults in shrek 2 and also plays way too much battle cats.

i always love a bit of juxtaposition in my characters.

gyro has a rude, disdainful personality, but he's associated with such cheerful things: the sky gardens, his MUSIC, his flower-like color scheme... all of it is bright and joyous in a way that makes him wayyyy more interesting than if he were just another jerk character. he's a robot who's extremely happy with his existence and how he was built and what he can do, despite others' expectations. he's not a stereotypically cheerful person, but there's a backdrop of tranquil joy behind his character, akin to fluffy clouds.

star is like an opposite example, where he has an exaggeratedly bright and romantic personality but happens to be associated with... edgier stuff? his music is tonally harsh and unforgiving, his stage is particularly hostile, even his color scheme clashes with itself with the way every piece of it competes for attention. and of course all of his early art makes him look like he's seconds away murdering someone. could be a consequence of establishing his personality later down the line, but it tickles my brain that star has all this harshness associated with him all. gives me the impression star is aggressively bright in a way that can survive the cold vacuum of space...
