going to post selfship slop doodles on main and nobody can stop me . one day maybe i'll post about the horrendous agonising yaoi (is it yaoi if one of them's a thethem IDFK) between them because i keep giving them lore but not right now
i made ramb look way too cutesy here but like whatever
this is gonna be a bit of a longer one so i'm tucking the rest under a read more
(butcher is tinker's worse brother who lives in cyber world . where they're broadcast hijacking he's website hacks . i might post him one day but his current ref kinda sucks)
one of the quirks of tink's alien body is alcohol having absolutely no effect on them . ramb uses them as a guinea pig to workshop new drinks on sometimes . Cocoa/Chocolate However !
this
i have some particular HCs about physical object vs abstract concept darkners aging differently but now's not the time for that . hop in my ask box if you're curious idk
big post about my deltarune OC because i legally have to do whatever i want and i'm rotted in the brain about them
named tinker . tink for short . also answers to variants of their stage name "galaxian captain signal-surfer" . they/them . the RCA cable tail is actually a clothing item , their real tail looks much more like their antennas . further info and other images below the cut
TV world darkner based on signal hijacking . particularly on captain midnight and the southern tv 1977 incident . their role on set is something of a cartoonish villain , enacting staged "takeovers" of certain shows . will sometimes also just cause unscripted problems on purpose though . offstage they're actually quite sweet especially with nervous new hires , if a little eccentric
despite their appearance they're actually about 105 years old - they'll mention having "got (their) start on radio" . they've watched many a family move in and out of the dreemurr house . they remember having been something of a force for change in years past and they resent tenna a tad bit for how they feel he forces them to be little more than a stage attraction . they do still enjoy putting on the performances but they're not afraid to make his life as annoying as possible when he tries to get them to do or not do something they don't feel like . because what's he going to do , get rid of them ? they've been here like twice as long as he has :-P
the lightner they grew the strongest attachment to was a girl who lived in the house round about the 80s who was particularly fixated on technology and witnessed some sort of signal intrusion event live that fascinated her . they developed a strong aesthetic love for the new wave & neon fashions from the music video channel she used to watch . whether that was because they loved it or because she loved it is anyone's guess
one of their many looks from the 80s . they'd definitely still be dressing like that now if they hadn't been forced to "get with the times" by a certain pushy manager some time in the late 90s
other phases of theirs . went through a particularly raunchy slimebag period in the '70s before cleaning their act up (left) . their earliest look from back when they first started to pop up on radio back when "intrusions were just fellas tinkering with their gadgets" (right) . there were more of these and i have more to say but this post is already getting a little ridiculous . maybe later
Did you guys know that the first Magic 8 ball was actually just a cylinder first with a dice in it? Looked like this!
I thought it would be fun to imagine Tinker having one. So I wanted to make a fun little engagement thing with it! Presenting Tinker Tells. Send an ask asking a question to Tinker's pocket fortune teller. We'll roll you an answer and Tinker will tell you what they think it means! (Will do my best, this is just to be fun and silly!)
