hey there! any chance you have some info on the origins of the c!boatman? like, any/all of the boatmen? (I noticed there's a multiverse thing y'all got goin on so, y'know) oh, also I heard smth abt uh, shape-shifting? with the animal crossing stuff? any idea of what that's abt? C:
Well, you came to the right person. Everything starts in the Minecraft world that Legacy of the Scythe takes place in (dunno how familiar you are with that series exactly, it’s the original Failboat lore) which is where our c!Failboat is from. Using the Power of the Scythe, he can travel between different universes, and every time he decides to insert himself into one, a version of him is magically retconned in. So every single version of c!Failboat in canon that isn’t the Minecraft version is either actually just that guy in a different art style or a splinter of him if they have free will, like in the cases of Miitopia and Rapper Failboat. That’s what I’ve gathered from the lore I’ve seen.
The shapeshifting thing I think has to do with this post I made where I theorize about how the Power of the Scythe works. In short, Failboat can shapeshift because of the Power of the Scythe.
edited to remove a stupid mistake I made
