This has probably been in here for like ages now but you can NOT ask me that! I have no fucking clue there's too many I love. Considering Sweeney's design I would say Candy Corn which is pretty fucking good imo but that feels like a lie. I wanna say if someone put a gun to my head and asked me this I'd probably shout Gummy Bears which are pretty fuckin good so I guess. gummybears. But also that feels like a lie. I think a bitch just love candy I'ma be real. As long as it's not spicy candy like cinnamon. I fucking hate cinnamon candy.

I need to fuck Ragz up more they been lookin too neat and put together. They need to look more ratty they were living in an old abandoned apartment building and making just enough to stay in business before staying with Slenderman. They should not look so put together. Until after begrudgingly moving in with Slenderman. Homegirl is going THROUGH IT At the moment.
Post about Minervas Powers/Abilities because I forgot to list them in the ask from @thebananaiscold
She has a few that come with being a nightmare and then one specific to her thats part of why she chose to be a mime. I'll list em along with what I think she'd call them because I can see her naming them stupid shit she thinks sounds cool.
Ghost Eyes - Because Nightmares are just Human spirits that were consumed by Shad and "reborn" as nightmares, She is able to see and communicate with Ghost. This also includes things like vengeful spirits and poltergeists that most wouldn't be able to see unless they wanted to be seen or are ghost/undead themselves. Because of this shed probably make a hell of a good exterminator in the underworld with proper training.
Mind Sweep - when Nightmares go into people's heads while they sleep to create... Well nightmares. They have to find out what their afraid of first. So basically will search though the person's mind to find anything they can use to cause fear. Nightmares with little control over their abilities or who are just assholes who don't care about any psychological effects it may have will gravitate towards things that will cause the most fear and distress which is how dreams relating to past events or trauma come about. But a nightmare if they choose and if they have enough of a grasp on how to control themselves when in someone's mind could use this ability to really learn anything they wanted about an individual they could potentially even create dreams that Aren't scary and fucked up or even pleasant one if they want. It's a hard skill to master to that point of having full control however. Minerva will use this ability usually to get information on her targets and use it against them.
Ventriloquist - Some nightmares can't speak so they have the ability to communicate thoughts through others. They can't read minds unless the individual is asleep but they can project their own thoughts to others in order to communicate. Before knowing how to use the ability from a distance Minerva primarily used sign language, writing or some kind of text to speech type or AAC app she eventually learns how to transport her thoughts into someone through physical touch. This is why she'll use Jumbo (Possesd Puppet pal) to speak. She tells him through telepathy what she wants to say and he says it for her. She technically could do this with any being but she doesn't like to just take over people's vocal chords if they aren't okay with it. She will do it in an emergency, however.
Paralysis - This is exactly what it sounds like. Minerva will typically take the Sleep Paralysis route to cause fear in whoever she's feeding off of. She figured out how to do it by accident before having full control over her abilities. (sorry Jeff and Wilson) She discovered if she scared someone enough during REM to wake them it'd cause it. It's basically a way for her to get a fuck ton of fear out of someone with little effort and less time. She also will use it with targets to fuck with them because she's very picky about her targets and won't agree to take a job unless she thinks they deserve it.
Phantomime - That one ability that I said was more specific to her (though there are others nightmares capable of it) It's the main reason she went with the mime theme along with the whole not being able to speak thing. Minerva has the ability to essentially mime anything she wants into existence as invisible objects which you would THINK is hella OP. There is a downside however and that's that it is dependent on how other people interpret her actions and based on their imagination. So if she just sucks ass at mining or the person whos influencing the outcome is just very shit at charades it can have some pretty funny results. Minerva can see these objects as actual physics objects, however to non nightmares/shades they will be invisible unless something visible is placed on them, like a blanket. She'll often paint things if she manages to mime something she wants to keep.
Hello! How about some Minerva/Alex Kage lore? (I love their design, they look cool as fuck by the way)
like what are some things they like, (hobbies, interests) or what are their powers? How did they become a killer? Or more specifically why a klown themed killer? What are their relationships like with the others, like: Jeff, Wilson, Ragz, Domi, etc? (I don’t know if any of this was already answered or not, I couldn’t find anything in my deep dive, sorry if I’m making you repeat shit you already explained)
Nah, you're good I don't think I've ever really talked much about Minerva/Mono but I can for sure answer this stuff!
Minerva is a fun character because shes one I made when I was like 14-15 and was so badly written but also for the revamp of PM I wanted to kinda keep her story close to how it was back then so I will say a heads up her story is very much 15 year old me branded and I mostly just tried to fill in gaps to make it at the least make a bit more sense but it still is like kinda shit and I love that about her.
As far as interest and Hobbies go she's big into sports. Specifically Baseball is her favorite as well as boxing. She likes clowns that is part of why she is clown themed. She's also got interest in voodoo as she did grow up learning about it since her Ganmother Seraphine practiced it.
She's got a major sweet tooth as well and if she sees anything sweet she WILL eat it. Drinks WAAAAAAY too much root beer.
What are her relationships with the others?
Jeff - Initially she did hate Jeff quite a lot as he kinda did slit her throat when he first met her and then claimed it was because he panicked because SHE scared HIM. They do eventually end up developing a friendship.
Wilson - Wilson and Minerva get along well enough however should NEVER be left alone with each other as they WILL end up doing some shit that is just dumb as fuck and could potentially be destructive or dangerous for them and those around them. Her Jeff and Wilson all end up developing a pretty strong friend group and do just be beating the shit out of each other for fun.
Ragz - Ragz Is a bit complex because outside of clown training Minerva does actually like Ragz but can't stand their ass when it comes to learning clown shit.
Domi - fun fact! Domi and Minerva are siblings Domis mom and Minervas father end up dating at some point. Domi and Minerva already had a sorta sibling relationship before this so they're just happy for them. They also did form the 3 ring together.
Now the OTHER QUESTIONS I'ma just drop lore on the backstory under the cut because it's long and requires a lot of info on the backstory to understand.
So For the vast majority of her life up until meeting Slenderman, Minerva was under the impression she was a human named Alexandria Kage and was Raised by a woman who she THOUGHT was her biological grandmother named Seraphine. The reality of it was that she wasn't a human like at all and she wasn't even biologically related to her. She started going by Minerva after getting to the underworld and meeting her Father who told her that was the name he intended to give her before her "Mother" (Seraphine) left him and took Minnie with her. Her Father and Seraphine were a couple and at one point wanted to start a family however him being a Shade and her being human they couldn't biologically have a child together. However the decided to go the route of making a nightmare which is essentially a human spirit that's consumed by a Shade and reborn as a Nightmare (think of them kinda like sleep paralysis demons. They create nightmares and feed of fear and when someone experiences sleep paralysis these are the "demons" they might see). At first things were fine but once Minerva got older to where it was time that she started actually doing nightmare shit Seraphine didn't like the idea of her living by taking advantage of peoples fears and in some cases trauma. She saw it as just morally fucked up (which for a human 100% would be fucked up to take advantage of someone's fears insecurities and trauma) They basically got into a disagreement as it was essentially that Minerva start learning about her abilities and just what she is at a young age so when she's an adult she doesn't struggle with them. Seraphine who started to dabbled in magic not long after meeting him didn't think she ever needed to because they had a means to disguise her as a human and for her to live a normal human life. It kinda at that point ended up being a disagreement over how Minerva should be aware of what she is rather than keeping that a secret from her for the rest of her life. Seraphine decided to just up and leave with her and basically raised Minerva in the road so not to be found by Minnies father. Because of how nightmares age however by the time Minerva was in her mid 20s Seraphine was old as hell. And by that point they had settled in New Orleans. Fast forward to about a month before the start of PM and Seraphine passes away which Minerva takes hard as she was her only family. But with Seraphine gone there wasn't anyone to continue to do the spell that disguised Minerva as a human so her nightmare qualities started to slowly show as the spell was wearing off. It caused people to fear her simply because Nightmares just unsettle humans by being around them. It caused her to lose the relationships she had formed, her job, and eventually she was essentially completely alone. But once these things started to show it made it easier for her to track down and that's when Slenderman found her. He knew her father so a Proxy was sent to go and bring Minerva back. However they didn't really think through that Jeff is a human so it kinda went south quick resulting in Minervas "Death" as far as local authorities knew. She was pronounced dead. She stayed in the underworld because not only did she just find out her whole life was a lie she did need to learn to use her abilities and how to survive. Not only that she'd never be able to have a normal life among humans so best she could do is try and have one on the underworld. She works for Slenderman specifically so she can have a well paying job and get on her feet as she didn't want to just rely on her dad as she didn't have a relationship with him and it just felt strange to her to do it.
Working on Ragz's "Jill" (Julian) And Could not decide between relly colorful clown themed Zoot Suit and being made only a few decades after Ragz or him being from the 1980s and then I realized those two things will look almost EXACTLY THE SAME. they will have the SAME VIBE.
I have told one☝🏿person this but I think I'm gonna switch up the time line and make PM take place in the 90s or at the latest the early 2000s I feel like 90s fits the vibe more.
Sorry for the inactivity I somehow got hit how to draw and it's just not coming to me. I will still be doing the request/ask that are in the inbox when I actually can draw
