Hiii, it's me again unfortunately
A forethought thing, I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. I thought it'd be better to put it in one ask instead of pestering you with a bunch of different asks. Basically this has stuff like head canons and song suggestions for Mortal Escapism.
(Also want to say that if any of these are too important to the lore or you'd just rather not answer feel free to skip them! I know there's a lot 😅).
Regarding that one ask where there's like a swap personality of Chandler and Percival, I feel like swap Chandler would purposely feed misinformation about the human world to the non-human workers that want to know about it. I think that'd be funny. Unless Percival's dementia got passed to Chandler and Percival is the one who remembers everything...? 👀.
I think this is actually confirmed maybe? But I headcanon Percival is better at using technology than Chandler, not to mention their around 10+ year age gap (if that's still canon, I can't remember). Obviously Percival is younger than Chandler but what if they weren't alive at the same time periods? Chandler seems to be from a bit of an older time period I think? And we don't know much about Percy when he was alive but him living in a modern or closer to modern time period would make sense, he seems to speak more in a modern slang way I think and it would also explain how he's better at using technology than Chandler.
Back to the swap au, we know Chandler and Percival would be swapped but what about the others? I was thinking maybe Sylvester and Cameron could be swapped (I like Cameron a lot btw she's cool). Idk about the others.
I think you already did the main-ish gang as animals but for the others Morena would be some kind of freaky, Eldritch deer (so not all that different), Cameron would probably be a lioness?? Maybe? Or some kind of big cat. Two of the other workers are already dogs, the Toymaker (I think that's their name? I'M SORRY MY MEMORY IS AWFUL SOMETIMES) would probably be some kind of animal known for building stuff... Not sure which one though. Idk for the others yet.
Questions for the sillies:
What is everyone's favorite color?
For both Percival and Chandler, did they both arrive in The Limbo at the same time or at separate times? If at separate times, who was there first? For how long? And what was their reaction to another human arriving in The Limbo?
Are any of them interested in art?
What were some hobbies of Percival and Chandler when they were alive? I think you mentioned Chandler used to work on cars occasionally, so was he interested in being a mechanic? Percival may or may not be the same person he used to be, the whole forgetting his entire life thing probably changed him a lot, but if he is still essentially the same as he was when he was alive I'm thinking he probably liked to do something more mischievous like pranks. Maybe even illegal graffiti (but instead of neat art pieces or tagging he just draws really stupid things like dicks to mess with people).
Song suggestions: this one's kind of tough, I go off of very specific things in songs sometimes, such as a specific verse or just (sort of) ignoring the lyrics and going off of vibes.
1. Probably any Will Wood song works I would think (there's one called Memento Mori [I think?] And that one would probably work really well)
2. Song about necromancy, can't remember what it's called atm
3. That one song that goes "my body's looking wrong, my body's looking wrong" for Percival and Chandler but specifically Chandler
4. Probably a lot of fnaf songs (yes I saw your last animation lol)
6. This one may be a bit out there but Digital Hallucination
7. Still Feel. "I still feel alive, and it's hopeless, I start to notice" I think the majority of this song is perfect for Percival and Chandler, but that part in particular reminds me of them. Especially when I imagine how they reacted to their new bodies
8. This one is definitely a stretch but An Unhealthy Obsession but SPECIFICALLY for Parasomnia Percival and Chandler and specifically for that brief bit where Chandler is hunting Percival in the last episode. This song is kind of a "romantic" song (in a creepy way) but that is not at all how I think of it when thinking about Percival and Chandler. I think of it as less the "romantic" version of stalking and more the "I am stalking this person because I intend to hurt them and I do not like them" version
There's definitely more songs that I know which would be perfect for Mortal Escapism but I just can't think of them rn
I had a lot more questions but this was already long enough plus I forgot about them (call me Percival for how forgetful I am good lord)
hai, these headcanons are very fun i enjoy them:)
i don't ponder over the swap au too much so I'll let you run wild with it however you want, but chandler being anoying liar is really funny LMAO
Chandler and Percival are from the same time period, Percival is better at adapting to things (in this scenario to technology) because he doesn't have the previous connection to his life like Chandler does. And Perci is just better at adapting to new situations in general.
if there's anyone from the modern era it's Šárka (she passed around mid 2010s).
i thought of Cami being one of those really awesome big emo horses but her being a big cat is also rlly cool i could see that...:)
I see the Workermaker as a weird bug tbh. just a critter.
Not sure about everyones favorite colors but Chandler and Sylvester both like warm tones. (Sylvester I'm thinking yellow specifically)
Perci feels like he'd like those neon bright colors.
Sally likes orange because orange juice.
Percival has been longer in Limbo than Chandler. You can't tell the time in Limbo but he's been there longer for a whiiilleee.
Sylvester would be interested in art:) he likes human-made creations of all sort. He'd love comic books. Not sure if he'd be good at actually making it though.
Šárka Is an art kid! She loved drawing. (she drew a lot of anime & magical girls but don't tell anyone)
Chandler liked to dabble in car stuff yeah, but he wasn't too passionate about it considering his family was mostly pressuring him into being knowledgeable about mechanics.
He was also skilled with a lot of craftsmanship but he was a bum that didn't enjoy or really have time for hobbies related to it because he was too busy smoking cigs or whatever.
Percival was a very different person than he is now. He wouldn't graffiti dicks back then but he totally would now if he could.
Šárka liked all sorts of crafts too, she also tried to learn the piano at some point, she was good for a starter. However she mostly spent her time studying astronomy! She had a telescope and liked to look at the stars.
I'm bad with songs, but I'll try to look into these!
I swear i'll get a playlist going someday guys i swearrr.
thank you for the ask, had a fun time pondering over these
