I just had a massive epiphany!!

I realized that the reason many bombermen die is because someone else refused to help them. After analyzing the bodies on Planet Scrapheap, many bodies are fully intact and more than repairable. Pink notes that Pretty was "scrapped". Not "destroyed", they more or less gave up on helping her following the accident, huh? It might've cost many resources, but couldn't many of them be saved?

I think it's like... If you were built for a purpose, and someone determined that you were no longer of use, aren't they basically renouncing your entire life? Would it not hurt if you were left to die, with the knowledge that they could perhaps let you live if they cared enough to do so? It might not be the case for some robotic lifeforms, but Planet Scrapheap strikes me as a dumping ground for trash you no longer care for.

It also makes one think about Plasma; we see his story, that he took great pride in the fact that he lived to protect others, and yet was thrown away like trash. When you get brought back from the dead, and the only thing you can see is that "You were a massive help, but when you could help no longer, you were disposed of", and you are standing on a planet of people who, for all you know, met the same fate; would it not be impossible to feel blinded by anger? If anything, i'm curious as to how the other four thought about it, and how it impacted their feelings about buggler during their time as the dastardlies. Of course, it's more than likely that Plasma's case is not as common as one might think, but if someone gave you a second chance at life...

phantpom + blue is like a comedy to me because they're both weird its just two different kinds of weird. like blue would say some shit like "did you know. that you are expremtely comfortbale. and good for hugginga" point blank and phantom would still be all "ok cool. you are psychological experiment. i am studying your behavior like a roach and while this is feasible i still do not understand why you would say that. and you are also trying to psychological me. so are you playing tricks on me. you trickster"

this goes both ways phantom would say some shit like "do you want to work on this project with me" and blue would be all "hnmmm......ive noticed from youre behavior patterns that you are often egotistical like my older sibling and extremely confident in your abilities. unlike my older brother, though, your attitude has merit because in your land you are worshipped. and when we first met you called me a fool but now you are okay with my presence. hmmmm hmmmmmmm......uoighu....i think "

flight or fight bounging around in my tired little head..who cares if its cheesy...i dont....cuz. what if wite n vic went on goofy silly dates together....like thet had kareoke night ......singing silly little showtunes together or some shit...i dont even know what a showtune is .....

As an eldest sibling and professional loss experiencer i feel like White Super Bomberman R is just going through SO MUCH SHIT at once but he's really well adjusted about it.

For starters Pretty's death completely and utterly messed with him. Before Pretty got scrapped, he used to be way less "serious" about things. Like he was still a cheesy little hero, but it was almost child-like. And then Pretty ate shit and he just CHANGED. Around the time R and R2 takes place he does NOT play about people messing with his siblings partially because of this, and don't even get me STARTED on this guy's weird inferiority complex. Like if his siblings get downed he just gets obliterated sooner or later. He straight up almost burst into tears in that one grand prix cutscene. There are probably countless times before Super R where this guy's just been crying alone thinking about what he could've done differently when Pretty got scrapped. I'm pretty sure Pink's been the only one talking about Pretty Bomber, since Aqua seems to have not known her until Pink brought it up. And Pink was like, really little when Pretty died, so...

But I cannot stress this enough: he is handling this like a CHAMP. This guy's just going through every day with the fate of the world and the safety of his family on his shoulders. He's not bottling up his feelings or anything, he's just handling them in quite possibly the healthiest way I've ever seen for someone in a situation like that. Don't get me wrong he still needs a chill pill but White's a complete TROOPER.

You go, dude.

unloadin some black bomber ramblings

Black is a genuinely good linguist and speaks + understands multiple languages. Writing is a hobby of his, and he has a diary where he spends ages writing his thoughts and random ideas that come to mind. But it's a sore point of his, and he gets really embarassed when it's brought up, so it's generally kept secret.

Black's attitude stems directly from a place of inferiority. He and White used to bicker a lot when they were really young, and he often got jealous whenever White went and did something cool on his own. He was kinda pretentious as a kid, but that inferiority mutated into the egotistical so-called perfect guy he is today.

Also, despite both of them having functional levels of emotional maturity, they still end up arguing like two 9 year olds on occasion over really petty stuff like "who took out the trash last time" or "who ate this" or "who took that"...you get the picture.

He likes to watch cheesy rom-coms for the sole purpose of shitting on the plot-inconsistencies and bad acting, but he often finds himself getting genuinely engrossed in the shows. Also, its heard of for him to shed a few tears while reading a serious novel. This is a little silly, because he regularly pokes fun at White for getting sappy and crying during movies.

Black thinks video games are childish and will only play them if either his siblings ask for it or if he needs to prove something.

He is surprisingly fond of wine. One of his many ideal relaxation activities is spending the night in his room with a glass and a lengthy book. You'd think it's because he wants to look cool, but nope. He genuinely just likes the taste.

Gotta cut it off here. Heartburn.

BOMBERMECHANICS 102

Because we all wanted a second one! (wheres the first 100?)

Starting off: EATING!! How do they Eat!

It would take so long to explain like all the headcanons and stuff that would lead to them consuming food but to make a long story short: Humans eat food, yes? So, why not model these robots to eat food as well? For the most part, they use the DVD method i mentioned in some other post. The screen briefly slides open to allow food, food goes in, screen closes...it's seamless and technologically advanced. To make the act of eating food enjoyable, the Bomberman Bros (and other mechanical lifeforms) all have taste receptors that are slightly randomized (the younger bros were inclined to avoid vegetables the way a child human would but Aqua is fine with them), and to be more specific, the parts that locate taste are somewhere in the throat area of a human, to compare it to their terms. Besides tasting good, it also gives a small boost of energy. It should be noted that they don't strictly need human food to live (White says you should eat for energy, but I've only seen him eat when he's relaxing), but not eating regularly is designed to make you feel really uncomfortable in order to encourage that they do eat food.

...Also, there's a similar philosophy for power ups found in battle. Those little plates with icons on them can usually be taken directly though the hands, as they're nothing more than collections of data. The name of the game is endurance! If someone like Green were to try and, i dunno, make eight bombs with max fire, it would likely exhaust him instantly. Those data chips stop you from nuking yourself when you try to do a little extra in combat. Same for skulls- like a computer virus! Also, they seem to taste absolutely horrible.

SO IF THE BOMBERMAN ARE DESIGNED TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE, WHY DIDN'T THEIR MAKERS MAKE THEM ALL-POWERFUL?

Humans are social creatures. It's only natural that the intelligent folks who designed the prototypes for the eight would want them to experience the ups and downs of being truly alive. It's why they have simulated tear ducts, why they have to eat or else they get uncomfortable, why they're all a family. The things that get in the way during combat facilitate the reason we fight in the first place. The humanity instilled into White keeps him going, no matter how hard it gets.

(Go piss, girl!)

SPARE PARTS, PLEASE?

Getting damaged is to be expected when everyone uses such an explosive tactic. Be it an arm or a leg, it's usually repairable.

To start, the internal systems usually get temporarily shut off. There's actually like 2 or 3 spare sets of limbs, and a couple of vital parts for all the bombers somewhere in HQ, but any damage is usually recovered, so it's as simple as welding the missing part back into place or running some bug fixes. (Also, you should probably find a way to turn off pain receptors. I know they're there to keep the humanity rule in check, but a tiny part got loose in White's head once and it hurt like a BITCH)

It's usually White who monitors the physical health of his siblings, but Blue often has to step in and help with more technological aspects. Actually, Blue often teaches White that there's more to their abiltiies that meets the eye.

RESPAWNING!!

Hurts like a bitch before your body comes back because the pain of getting blown up takes a while to go away, but you get used to it. You don't get rebuilt- you just get rejuvenated. Kinda like a quick system refresh. Feels great. Lets you spring back into action. Also, the "STAGE CLEAR" areas in a level have the same effect.

AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE FORGOT!

Some of the siblings have a tendency to stutter over their words in emotionally taxing situations. That's actually just the voice chip getting a little weird due to all the processes running at once. Yknow how your laptop screen goes black and gets laggy when you have too many apps open at the same time?

Thanks to their synthetic skin, the siblings are all more or less immune to accumulating rust. White's not a big fan of water, but he trucks through it for the sake of whoever needs him.

Sorry, but that's it for tonight. Kinda sleepy again.
