@moipale's new postcanon loop oneshot tidelocked is really, really good. however sometimes to write really really good fic you need to take a break to write really really dumb scenes
tidelocked is 14.8k of loop's postcanon persistence in someone else's home, in someone else's life, in a fifth bedroom by the seaside -- and true to faedemon form, every last word of it is utterly, utterly devastating from beginning to gut-wrenching end.
if you've read tidelocked you will know full well all the ways this illustration doesn't actually make sense as a faithful recreation of the scene it would have been from, but hey! it's a goof. we're calling it bonus content. if you haven't read the fic, know that i am strongly urging you to go read the fic so you can point and laugh at the inaccuracies with the rest of us. i promise you will not regret it

Name: David Flippin Radroller
Nickname: Davey
Species: Coconut Octopus
Age: 24
Gender: Male (He/Him/His/Himself)
Height: 7 ft 3 (measured from end of longest arm to posterior end of mantle)
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, of course
Status: Singer in the D-Wave (His Band)
Personality: A smooth jazzman who likes to show off. Has a certain swagger to him. Very dramatic, often to his own downfall.
Likes: Singing, Jazz, Rock, His Band Members, Ice Cream, Puzzle Games, Attention, Ice Cream Dislikes: Being Booed Off Stage, Five Nights at Freddy's, Gummy Worms/Bears
Powers and Combat
Combat style: Hand To Hand (Hand To Tentacle?)
Combat Weapon List: Handheld microphone with a hidden switchblade out the back
【Power 1: LIGHTS】 Davey can control any light source within 10 meters with just a swish of his tentacle. He can snuff out or ignite candles, make electric bulbs flicker and dim, and even disable other creatures' natural bioluminescence.
【Power 2: Oh, Inkballs】 Davey can pick up his ink and turn it into a solid object while it's being held. While in this hardened state, it can be molded into a specific shape, but if it sustains upwards of 0.9 megapascals of stress it reliquidizes.
【Power 3: Breath of Fresh Prince】 Davey can breathe perfectly fine both in and out of water.
Weaknesses: Due to the fact that he is a mollusc, he is highly susceptible to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning.
Why He Wants To Be A Star: For the adoration of the fans. A thousand fangirls and fanboys screaming his name every time he slithers onstage, crowds of people wearing his face on their chest and their hearts on his sleeve.
Name: Hexity Decixas
Nickname: Hexy
Species: Axolotl
Age: 22
Gender: Female (She Her Hers Herself)
Height: 7 ft 10
Sexual Orientation: Again, bisexual
Status: Keytarist in the D-Wave
Personality: A bold and energetic empowered performer who's not afraid to go off. A bit of a charmer and a flirt too.
Likes: Keytar, SynthPop, Disco, Her Band Members, Ice Cream, Rhythm Games
Dislikes: Rooms Being Cleaned While She's In Them, Shows Ending Due To Closing Time
Powers and Combat
Combat style: Evasive
Combat Weapon List: A keytar that can shoot electric note bullets (think of Mega Man’s Buster shots, but note shaped) - with a special program, it can also turn into an axe, but that’s on a USB stick and isn’t pre-installed.
【Power 1: CAMERA】 Basically the “blue skdoo” power from Blue’s Clues. Hexy can dive into camera feeds in order to come out of the other side of the camera. She can also do this in reverse - if she’s being recorded, she can disappear from the scene in order to crawl out of the screen it’s being displayed on.
【Power 2: X-HEAL】 Consumes a magically supercharged item to regenerate lost body parts in seconds.
【Power 3: Breath of Fresh Queen】Hexy can breathe perfectly fine both in and out of water.
Weaknesses: Highly susceptible to odd temperatures and all attacks utilizing them - she sustains damage at temperatures where humans would likely just break a sweat or a shiver.
Why She Wants To Be A Star: To prove all the people who put her down and belittled her wrong and show the world that she is better than they’ve said she is.
Name: Grace Whirlwind Bonaparte
Species: California Gull
Age: 23
Gender: Female (She Her Hers Herself)
Height: 7 ft 11
Sexual Orientation: Take a wild guess (spoiler: it's bisexual)
Status: Electric bassist in the D-Wave
Personality: A violent/rude bird that loves to make chaos and steal. There’s a bit of edge to her as well, though it’s mostly just a manifestation of her supreme hubris.
Likes: Bass, Heavy Metal, Industrial Rock, Her Band Members, Ice Cream, FNAF, Horror Games In General
Dislikes: Bright Lights (Especially Flash Photography), Hecklers, Peppermints, The Establishment/The Man
Powers and Combat
Combat style: No holds barred grapple-hold madness
Combat Weapon List: Morningstar bass guitar
【Power 1: Action】She can go so fast it seems like she teleported/for her it seems like time stopped around her. However, to gather the time needed, she has to stay still for the same amount of time her actions in Action-time would have taken. (for example, if she wants to go to a room that normally takes 5 seconds to run to instantly, she needs to stay still for 5 seconds.) It takes much longer to charge the power if she’s being stared at while she charges. Compare and contrast with the way the animatronics switch from PNG to PNG in Five Nights at Freddy’s, a game Grace is a fan of.
【Power 2: Malformed String】Basically, Spider-Man web powers, but the strings disintegrate into glowy text characters after they’re no longer of use.
【Power 3: Breath of Fresh Knight】Grace can breathe perfectly fine both in and out of air.
Weaknesses: None.
Why She Wants To Be A Star: For the luxury. The heated pools, the shiny locales with blaring programmable spotlights, the fancy feasts of shrimp and buttered lobster with cedar-planked salmon appetizers, and all the wonderful things the money people pay to see her can buy.
Name: Rosemary Monstr
Nickname: rose_str
Species: Tricolor Hermit Crab
Age: 21
Gender: Female (She Her Hers Herself)
Height: 5 ft 8
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual (noticed a pattern yet?)
Status: Drummer in the D-Wave
Personality: A shy and reserved creature, but when she really gets into the rhythm of her drumset and when she's chilling with her loved ones, she reveals a playful and energetic side that isn't apparent at first.
Likes: Drum & bass, breakcore, being around her friends, climbing (including on/over the other band members), curling up in a dark room whilst watching videos, cozing herself into small spaces
Dislikes: Being pressured by the crowd, getting wrapped up in trouble/court proceedings, being pulled away from her safe spot, the spaces she tucks away into turning out to be too small to properly remove herself from, having her groove thrown off
Powers and Combat
Combat style: Defensive
Combat Weapon List: Drumsticks have chains on the back that can clip together to turn them into DRUMCHUCKS.
【Power 1: Clapperboard】 Rose_str can create a directed shockwave of sorts when she claps her claws together, blowing anyone that gets hit by it back severely. Essentially, the “fus ro dah” of creatures.
【Power 2: Shellspace】 Rose_str can create a “bigger on the inside” space within an object, but only if she can fit inside it in its natural state, and it consumes a magically supercharged object to do so (though once a space has been opened like this, it can be closed and re-opened with a click of a claw without destroying it). She mostly just does this with her shells, hence the name.
【Power 3: Breath of Fresh Rook】 Rose_str can breathe perfectly fine both in and out of water.
Weaknesses: Like any hermit crab, Rose_str molts three times every two years, give or take. In the days before her molts, she becomes lethargic, and after the molt she is weak and soft for the next week.
Why She Wants To Be A Star: To send a message and change the world for the better.
