do any sov characters play pikmin bloom. do yhey like it. do any of them play it and not like it were they forced to. is there invite code drama. my boyfriend loves pikmin bloom i need to gather all the data for our daily pikmin bloom descussions (my phone is too old to downloaf it) (i love sovstuck this is how we compromise) (we also make homestuck aus that are so stupid and so whimsical)

orry for the tmi i just needed you to understand the context

Hi, this is up there on the list of funniest anons I've ever received, and I'm obsessed with it. I sent it to the Developer Server for a group consensus, and we've reached some verdicts.

Pardus is the most likely to canonically play Pikmin Bloom, as she is already canonically deeply invested in the Pikmin franchise. She's located in a major city, lives by the Dandori way, and is really into parkour, so her activity levels on that game would be insane. He is so fucking efficient.

Ajax and Pleome play Pikmin Bloom for Pardus reasons.

If Retris were to play it, his Friend Code would get leaked on the Internet somehow, and he'd get a bajillion fucking friend requests in an hour because everyone wants to know his exact location. He cannot rest from hell.

Kausat finds a way.

so I finally got around to reading your essay on mituna being a Cassandra parallel, and it was really good! But I can't help but notice that one of the sovereignstuck players is named Ajax and now I'm sweating profusely hoping there's no connection

Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the essay! And don’t worry! There’s no connection between Ajax Barrett and Mituna’s status of being a Cassandra parallel!! See, there’s actually two men named Ajax in Greek mythology- Ajax the Great, and Ajax the Lesser.

Cronus Ampora, in relation to Mituna’s myth of Cassandra, is simultaneously playing the role of Apollo, by most likely being the person who destroyed people’s belief in Mituna in the first place, and Ajax the Lesser specifically, for, well… You know what Ajax the Lesser’s relevance to Cassandra’s story is.

Ajax takes more cues from an entirely different guy- you might have noticed that his handle starts with the word “Telamonian,” which relates him very specifically to Telamonian Ajax, better known as Ajax the Great. He’s a hero of Greek mythology. Don’t worry- Ajax and Mituna are actually friends! Mituna’s his Patron, actually!

If Retris is named after/based on Tetris, are all the Sovstuck original characters based on/tied to classic video games? Like Space Invaders, Pong, Snake, Pac-Man, Frogger?

A few of them are! We’ve got extremely overly complicated and extremely simple reasons for each one, too! Here’s a few I can think of right off the bat:

Tejuri is inspired by Snake.

Dynama is inspired by Frogger.

Presae is inspired by Centipede.

Meseri is inspired by Polybius.

Ajax is inspired by Space Invaders.

I would also like to take a moment to say that while, yes, Retris’s name is literally just Tetris with an R in front of it (there are very simple and very complicated reasons for this also,) the inspiration I derived from the game for Retris’s character is largely based on The Tetris Effect. Don’t think about that too hard! Or do. I’m not the boss of you. :)

most likely sovstuck to have a fursona

Gonna give you the two most obvious answers here, sans the Patrons/NPCs.

Ajax is canonically a scalie, if that’s a viable answer. He’s into kaiju movies and big lizard monsters. Thinks they’re #badass.

Emeric has a crystal scorpion bugsona that thrives off a steady diet of methamphetamine and ethanol. She’s quirky like that. o8]
