Last night i dreamt i was scrolling on twitter [i dont have twitter] and i came across a drawing of finn and shrimpo doing machines as ghosts with their costumes on [finn has fish fins and a tail, shrimpo wasnt wearing his skin's dress but he did have the wings and the crown] and shrimpo was smiling softly at finn. the caption said "If Toons Had Ghosts" and its been haunting me all day and i had to draw it
vv version where they're less visible [more dream-accurate] vv
me and my awesome polycule ok ? headcanons under the cut
BATTAT
-Shorter than most Pippins
-The only bug Pippin. Everyone else is more mischievous animals like cats, raccoons and red pandas.
-He doesn't bother putting on gloves for his second set of arms since he usually holds them behind his back. this is unhealthy ! but hes a little insecure about them because the other pippins make fun of him about it. jongler and pluey think its awesome that he has more hands tho
-Was really young when moved to TV world. he doesnt remember much about card castle and doesn't really care. seeing lancer awakened some curiosity in him, though.
-Firefly abdomen [not shown in drawing] lights up when he gets excited. usually only happens when he finds a clue as to who mike is but also this was the biggest sign of him having a crush on jongler and pluey
-His bug mandibles arent very sharp, but theyve let battat scare some of the pippins into leaving him alone enough times for him to be a little happy to have them
-The only pippin he mildly enjoys being around is that one pippin that hangs out with a zapper. you know the one
-His mike costume covers his wings/abdomen/antennae so to make it comfortable while still hiding his discernible features he stylized it to look more like a moth.
-Objectum for his corkboard and red string
JONGLER
-A LOT more humble than most zappers. despite zappers having the highest rank/authority out of the three main tv world species, jongler never really did anything with that authority other than sneaking onto the cowboy sets and watching some of the shadowguys play pretend
-Shines their sheriff badge every night before going to bed
-Leans foward in their mike costume because theyre standing on their tail. this makes them Really Tall too since their tail is pretty long. its not too uncomfortable though due to some modifications within the suit
-Bandana and gloves give them sensory relief
-Alongside the top of their head, their spotted patterns can start glowing to alert others during an emergency [like if they need to evacuate a part of the studio or if someone breaks into an area theyre not supposed to go into]
-Not the best at aiming with their lazers, but hand them a shadowguy's gun and they're winning every shootout
-Probably some flavor of aromantic vut nobody has time to figure that out
-Objectum for their sheriff star
PLUEY
-Shorter than the average shadowguy
-Composed the music for Catswing all by hismelf. its not uncommon for shadowguys to make their own music for funsies
-Most shadowguys are easily fooled and taken advantage of. pluey is an exception. they're a lot more clever than the average shadowguy and have tricked many pippins who have tried to scam him of some points
-Shadowguys can turn into mere shadows on the wall for ease of transport. pluey does this often to gather clues for battat
-Even though he can't speak, he's a very good listener. he gathers all the gossip around TV world and usually doesn't tell anyone other than his polycule. however, lanino and elnina are good friends of his, and sometimes he lets them in on the tea
-Usually stays in-costume when hanging out with his polycule because its comfy and easier to make facial expressions in since it has eyes
-Has curly hair but slicks it back with gel to look like the other shadowguys in order to fit in better
-Very fluctuating confidence. one day hes on top of the world and the next he feels like he's failing his duties as mike. but its okay because he has loving partners who remind him that hes doing a great job
-Objectum for his gun
everyone meet riot she is my current character in my first ever friendlocke [emerald rogue]
she swept 2 gyms and survived an explosion on 9 hp and ate a hyper beam and has taken down several major threats to the team and immediately after she "died" the game fucking crashed. so shes not dead. Riot Always Win
the things on her hammer are mementos as we had some very unfortunate deaths [rest in peace Average Worm, Elizabeth and Y] but she has remained strong. and i love her very much
shes a lot scruffier and scrapped up than the average tinkaton and that is because shes a little freak beast. she absolutely Refused to get caught at first and then proceeded to carry the team. she even got to level 100 before her ""death"" [which isnt real. didnt happen]
