Hey would u be okay with making a milkshake for Pixy from Ace Combat 0? His whole thing is that he's a mercenary pilot that was hired for a war, and while he is a bit cocky at times since he got the nickname "solo wing" by managing to land his jet after losing one of his wings, he's very witty and intelligent. His arc consists of meeting and slowly growing closer to Cipher (the player character) during the war before the weight of their actions becomes too much and he defects, trying to kill Cipher and nuke the continent with a supernuke. Before he can do this, however, Cipher does shoot him down and he survives, realizing that blowing up the world to reset it was kind of a bad idea and he then takes part in a documentary about Cipher 10 years later- no longer hating him. Borders are also a big thing for his character but yea he's very dear to me and it would be super duper cool. Awesome blog btw
Here's his wiki for photo refs and any details about his character I may have missed since I can't send pictures on anon

Larry "Solo Wing Pixy" Foulke has been SHAKED!
I went with the caramel apple mixable with pistachio syrup on a low blend for the base. I chose a green colour scheme to evoke a militaristic theme. The brown caramel flecks and the green swirls of the pistachio syrup on a low blend mimic military camo.
I also chose the caramel apple because, to me, it represents exuberance, playfulness and simplicity. Caramel apples are treats made for festivals and fairs, usually for children. Although Pixy has a complicated relationship with Cipher (the player character), Pixy does hold affection for and camaraderie with (and maybe something else giggle) with Cipher. I wanted to represent the purity of this feeling with the caramel apple mixable.
I chose a mocha whip, the same colour as Pixy's hair. I also chose the tan colour because it further ties into the military theming.
I chose pomegranate in order to mimic Pixy's "solo wing", the red wing of his plane. I specifically chose pomegranate for the red to represent Pixy's "fall" from order, after he defects and joins a world with no boundaries. Some scholars believe that the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden was a pomegranate. Like Adam, Pixy exits from existing "order" of the world to forge his own path.
Despite Pixy's actions when he acted as a terrorist, and misguided as they were, they were done for the sake of the betterment of the world and to unite all people. The golden drizzle represents his optimism and idealism. I used the Portallini confetti sprinkles to tie all the colours together visually.
I used bananas to represent the wings of Pixy's plane. Oreos symbolize Pixy's black and white, all or nothing "reset it all" worldview and his extremist beliefs during his time with a world with no boundaries. Also, black, yellow and white are the colours of the Belkan flag. Belka, where he was raised, a far right-wing neo-nationalist government which had plunged the world into war, the war which orphaned him as a child. Pixy's strong opposition to the concept of borders and his decisions are tied inextricably with the context of the country he was raised in.
Lastly, a haystack topping because I think he'd like something crunchy, and a cherry for good measure.
