Redesigns of skybound characters!

Part 2

consistent art style? Never heard of her

[thestoryteller-thedreamer]

So... I think Nya being held down as two guys forcibly undress her probably qualifies as sexual assault.

Being openly displayed on a kids' show.

And what Dogshank does isn't much better. Though we can't see below Nya's head in the shot, the other guys most certainly can see her, and based on the sounds of a zipper and moving fabric, she was stripped naked in front of them.

Excuse me while I wash the throw up out of my mouth.

And people say Clancee's a good guy.

*Before we start I would like to mention Clancee chuckled, giggled, and even laughed while saying all of this. He was just telling, he was making fun of. and now...

Like, okay, damn. First of all, she is the prettiest girl in the whole Godamn crew (if we don't count the girls), SECOND, who are YOU to judge mr. has his own uniform be just a freaking chestplate instead of an actual shirt? Cover those skales mate, they ain't as cool as you think they are.

Also, what is up with Clancee sharing the main crew's life-stories to their prisoner? Like isn't he supposed to do the exact opposite and weaken HIM? Why is he showing THEIR weaknesses instead??

Again, WHY IS DISSING HIS OWN CREWMATES IN FRONT OF THE PRISONER *AND* WITHIN THEIR EARSHOTS??? That's the sassiest move I've seen come from a snake including Skales and Pythor.

Also, like I said. [CHUCKLES] ?????? AT WHAT YOU LITTLE SHIT?? NOBODY IS ENJOYING MONKEY WRENCH BEING A MONKEY INCLUDING HIM WHATS SO FUNNY?? YOU WANNA TURN METAL TOO?

'was always a headache' does this mean Clancee knew Monkey Wrench BEFORE he joined the crew, making the tell-tales of MK wrong? They're only semi-canon while this is fully canon, so this counts more in the end right

I HATE the main crew, but I will defend them in front of Clancee. I HATE THAT SNAKE!!!!!!!!!

[cboffshore]

first proper skybound thought in months but every now and again i'm reminded how messed up Nadakhan's crew is. his entire thing is that he ruins lives and forces then to join him. We have no idea why Flintlock is there so can't say much. monkeywretch being the best of his kind is the sickest burn possible. and dabloon got the face of what he stole as punishment, to be as two sided as a coin.

But Dogshank's story just kinda sucks the most. she was a normal person who was tired of always being second place so she just wanted to stand out for once. and in return for her nieve wish she is turned into a monster so ugly she covers her face everyday. she has basically no choice but to join a band of rejects and misfist because literally no one else would want her.

genuinely so surprised she isn't seething at the sight of him everyday.

I actually wonder how many more have been wronged and still decided to join the crew. like surely there was an appeal in the treasure hunting and raiding. like they all enjoyed being pirates. but why would they continue to work for this man in particular.

It's honestly wild, isn't it? At this point, I'm more curious about who joined the crew purely of their own volition AND STAYED. We already know most of them only do so because Nadakhan purposefully gave them abilities so specific they'd only be useful for working under him - Cyren comes to mind here, because her assorted canon blurbs mention that she can't use the singing-people-into-trances ability to do what she actually wanted the singing talent for - or, in Dogshank's case, so thoroughly messed up that she wouldn't be able to fit in elsewhere.

As much as I don't generally count the Tall Tales as canon (ELECTRIC DRILL), I do have to give them credit for mostly aligning with the stories Clancee tells Jay in e60. And they are tall tales, so some embellishment is warranted. Either way, since Nadakhan clearly granted these wishes while building his crew, both sets of stories combined very clearly give us what Nadakhan sees in them and exploits on his own terms to get those specific skillsets:

Monkey Wretch - they're pirates, they'll need a ship and continuous maintenance, 'nuff said. (I'm still not sure why that required primate body horror, but then again, might simply be another case of Dogshank: who else is going to hire them?)

Doubloon - two-faced jerk who is unfortunately really truly terrific at stealing, which is a classically useful pirate trait, but loyalty (and, in Tall Tales, ability to shut up) isn't assured. Keep the two-facedness in a way that serves to overly simplify his emotions and keep him more manageable and unable to talk back or plot against him, and now Nadakhan's got the perfect combat/stealth theivery grunt.

Dogshank - almost TOO literal in the malicious compliance here, but that really shows where Nadakhan's priorities lie. There are a million ways he could have made her stand out that didn't require doing all of THAT, but he picks one that contradicts what she's actually after and is *air quotes* COINCIDENTALLY a way to ensure she can't keep her previous lifestyle (whether that's Tall Tales athletics or the very vaguely canon implied debutante/socialite career, and that's only based on Clancee's ball line, so WHO KNOWS). He then steers her into joining the crew as their enforcer/muscle, because again, where else is That going to be useful and accepted? This is a little like if I wished I were better at using a julienne slicer and then had both my arms turned into julienne slicers. First off, NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR, and second, I'd be basically locked into a life in the culinary arts - at least until I managed to make enough money to pay for Normal Arm Surgery, and that would take so long it might just be easier to resign myself to a life of ratatouille prep.

Clancee - interesting case here in that he doesn't make any wishes and does in fact join just for fun, but I'm pretty sure that easily-spooked personality shows up early and often, and he inadvertently becomes a reserve wishing well. At that point, Nadakhan does explicitly use those wishes for his own benefit (neat how that coincides with his late-season mask slip!), and only then does Clancee manage a buzzer-beater reveal that he's never liked the way Nadakhan treats people. Me and you both, pal.

Flintlocke - REALLY weird case here because we don't know for sure what wishes he made, but we know he did run out before s6 (he makes a comment to Nadakhan that he wishes the crew had more hands and nobody sprouts more arms), plus I'm fairly certain the gun ability is something Flintlocke cultivated for himself based on how he brags about it. It's also the first thing Nadakhan moves to destroy when he needs to humiliate Flintlocke back into line, and I don't think that's something that would happen if Nadakhan purposefully installed that for his own benefit. It's also not a skill that's locked to piracy - there are ways Flintlocke could take that elsewhere and flourish - so either that's not the result of a wish... or it was, but only to lull Flintlocke into enough of a sense of loyalty and gratitude to take up the first mate role. Bizarre, devastating implications all around.

Squiffy and Bucko: neither of them seem very suited to life on the Keep, but we never get to see if Nadakhan sculpts that into them, so that makes sense. They're probably also heading down the Clancee-wishing-well path without knowing it...

In conclusion: I'm looking at these poor guys like this and I am FASCINATED.

It all says so much about everyone and it makes me want to eat shoelaces. And that it all develops into that twisted form of loyalty they've all convinced themselves is real. Especially after Clancee's line about Nadakhan bringing them all together and making them whole? SCREAM. YOU'VE BEEN PLAYED LIKE KAZOOS.

Frankly, Soto's crew probably came out on top because they were all in it for the love of the game and not paralyzed by some overly specific skills and a fear of their boss.

Playing Tomodachi

Also, Flintlocke and Nadakhan had a child, to my dismay ;-;

Okay, this sis one thing funny Skybound thing how I imagine Jay would lose his eye.

Tw: blood!! Tw:pain!! Tw:Nadakhan is being unhinged

Here is how the dialogue would go;

Nadakhan: I’m hungrry maybe we should get food.

Flintlocke: Sure. What do you wanna eat, captain?

Nadakhan:Idk…

Dogshank: Chinese?

Nadakhan: Nah too far away. I already ate that last week. But still there is always something new to try out for it especially the new…. restaurant but I will do that later.

Clancee:S-s-ome thing Middle Eastern? Or I-i-Italian?

Nadakhan: Nah it’s out of my reach. It won’t have the same taste as others it’s kind of ghostly..

Dogshank aleedy annoyed: Okay what about that new Asian fusion restaurant on the new island we got?!

Nadakhan: Aleedy tried it out it was not as….good as they said. The cooks were not…up to my standards

(Jay coming over cause he had to mop the floor)

Nadakhan: I know what I want…..

Flintlocke on a verge of going back to drinking: Then what is it?!??

Nadakhan smiled:Ginger!

The sky pirates were: Wtf does that mean??

(Nadakhan as Jay comes over quickly hit Jay’s eye with his hook taking it out quickly and eating it )

Meanwhile Jay screaming in absolute pain: Ahhhhhhh!!!! Wtf was that for?!????

His whole crew stunted not knowing what to say.

Nadakhan: hmm 5/10 could have been better with some spices

Clancee passes out due to too much blood. Nadakhan teleports away. Poor Clancee

Flintlocke: Wait what did he mean by when he rejected the other places?!?

Dogshank: Did he……?!?

Dobloon just changing his face to his serious one while nodding. Meanwhile Jay screaming in pain trying not to pass out no ones helps him. He will be okay for now

That’s from me! Case closed!! Vampy’s out!!!
