Hi

I love your fox bloom takes, do you have hcs about the others and animals too?

I didn't until I got this ask! (These are more vibes, if you want, I can give them traits of these animals, giving traits was just easier for Bloom because he's an elf y'know)

Bensai is a viscacha (relative of chinchillas that look like rabbits). No questions asked, look at them, enough said.

Clark gives dog energy, but like that feels too basic compared to the others and all that. I'd also say squirrel or rat but then he'd be tiny and saying he's tiny when he's the tallest of the SellSword Crew feels illegal. Sooo imma say he gives very much like dachshund energy? Or maybe corgi, regardless, I circle back to dog.

Short hair or long hair, I can't decide

David feels like a fisher (think of a smaller wolverine that can climb trees if you don't know what it is). It just fits, powerful, but not as big as like a wolverine.

Jacques feels like he'd be a lyrebird, I dunno he feels like a bird to me, and lyre cuz well he's a bard, you could also argue that their tails look like the fraying of a whip. Also the colours just remind me of Jacques hair weirdly enough? Y'know?

Megan feels like a bat, like a flying fox specifically, spooky but cute.

I NEED MORE ABOUT BLOOM AND JACQUES AS THE PERFORMANCE DUO, PLEASEEEE

Also, YES SELLSWORD QPR, YOU SEE THE VISION

Also also, I loved the Bloom headcanons so much 🍂 you're so right about them being non-binary and the sensory issues, and the shifting eye colors are actually peak!!

BEFORE I BEGIN, LET IT BE KNOWN THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM WRITING THIS YAP. (I accidentally exited out the tab before saving last time I tried answering this ask, i was trying to fact check something after i had already finished typing)

There are multiple reasons why Bloom and Jacques are performance duo.

Mostly the fact that out of the entire party, Blumineck and Jack are performers first, unlike Bensei who is well an instructor and SellSwordArts which is ofcourse a business but they competitively use their weapons and teach with their content (ofcourse this doesn't mean they all aren't performers, they all are as that's just the nature of being a content creator, this just makes the most sense in my head and I hope it makes sense to others)

BUT that's hardly the only reason I have dubbed them performance duo.

Like even though they are playing versions of themselves and all that I've said previously is a factor, even their classes and subclasses add to them being performance duo.

Jacques is a glamour bard. Bloom is a fey wanderer ranger. (I'll let someone with more knowledge of these yap, I'm not very well-versed in dnd subclasses, I watch dnd stuff for the stories, man)

ALSO they meet with Bloom pretending to be Jacques's reflection, which is well performing. Not to mention what Jacques was doing before they met (I ain't touching that with a 10 foot pole, but I hope you understand what I am trying to convey..)

ALSO² I just like the fact performance sounds like romance/bromance and you have the only person to canonically get laid and the person who spends the entire first session being sick and tired of so much unexpected social interaction.

If i forgot anything I'll make a post, but I think this is about how much I had the first time i wrote this 😭

I hope to gods this makes coherent sense
