Ah Yes, Posing Dramatically Whilst Staring Into The Sunset.

Imma just leave this bad boi here for now.

They speak the truth.

The promised art I mentioned in the last post, both were surprisingly fun to draw.

Plenty of rambles under the cut, if you wanna read go for it:

I know I gave Roll platinum blonde hair but I honestly think I could've gotten away with giving her regular hair color. I still like Roll as the goat because I see her as more aggressive than Rock, even if that isn't true most of the time. I just wanna give her huge weapons, she deserves it. As a treat y'know?

Regardless, this was a nice fit, Roll has always been associated with warmer colors and Rock with cooler ones, her hair was also just more convenient. The main reason I drew Rock as the Lamb in the first place was because the Lamb had the main character status and is generally considered to be more mild compared to the Goat which I thought suited Rock better. This way does give Roll more rep as the main character tho, and Rock can finally get the chance to be a littol sheet, so huzzah.

If Rock and Roll are in the place of the Goat and the Lamb then they should have some followers too right?

I think the robot masters could fill in the role of the followers, with the first gen robot masters following Rock and the Megaman 9 robot masters following Roll. Time and Oil man are finicky though, since they weren't introduced in the original game, so I'm unsure which one they should follow. It'll probably come down to colors at the end of the day so Timeman follows Rock and Oilman follows Roll, but since both cults work so closely it shouldn't really matter. Aside from those two, the rest of the many robot masters can follow either or some may not even join either cult at all. Prime example being Cossack's line of robots.

This brings up the idea of there being two cults. I haven't played the game so I can't say for sure what the Goat's deal is, but for this au in particular, Rock and Roll are in charge of separate cults that work closely with one another. I'm also making a change and not have Rock and Roll be related in any way. They still treat each other as siblings, but in more of a found family kind of way.

I think at some point in their past, Rock and Roll knew each other and were pretty good friends before both were sent off to be killed. They were killed in separate places but met death at the same time. I wonder if they both have some sort of link because of that or if they somehow just knew the other was alive and sought out to look for them.

If the duo are the playable characters then who should be The One Who Waits?

My first thought was Protoman, he's got the second identity thing going on, but Bass or Zero are also on the table. I'll have to think about that later, maybe draw some doodles.

Funnily enough I’ve been kinda curious about Mighty No. 9 lately, and the fanart you posted is strengthening my desire to check it out 👀

Oh yeah, go right ahead! I loved the characters voices, they're just super funny to me for some reason. The bosses especially were very quirky both as bosses and as helpers. Which yeah, another thing I like about the game. Unlike Megaman, which MN9 is meant to be a spiritual successor of, you actually get more screentime of all of the bosses and get a chance to know them beyond just fighting them for their weapons. I love that kinda thing since the bosses are related to the player character named Beck. I think it's super sweet that they help out their youngest sibling out but still let him fight his own battles.

With that being said though, I do gotta let you know that the gameplay has a couple problems. From what I hear the game bugs out and barely runs at 60 fps. Even if things run smoothly, some people really hate the enemy placement and consider it unfair. Using the playable character's weapons is also kinda weird and not like Megaman at all which can be kinda frustrating.

Happy Anniversary FNAF

Thanks Scott!!

Completely separate au unrelated to the last post I swear.

Just a creetur that looks like X and likes to watch Zero sleep sometimes. And by that I mean often.

In all seriousness, I have no idea why this popped up in my brain but I'm not complaining.

Here's some silly lore:

X does not exist here. I have no idea why, feel free to come up with whatever reason you have in the comments. The only thing that ever implied his existence were some old blue prints Dr. Light made of him. This one change disrupts the timeline so badly that someone had to throw in something to fill X's spot.

Rather than swapping X out with someone like Over-1 or just a straight up new guy, whoever was assigned to maintain the timeline just decided to throw in this weirdo.

The goopy freak, who I'll call Mimic X, knows full well who X is supposed to be and acts along accordingly. For the most part, at least. They still indulge in cryptid shenanigans and adore Zero for some reason. Personality wise, they can be really off putting, but are largely sweet when not antagonized. If you make friends with Mimic X then you get free animal bones they find, cool rocks they hoard, and an unsettling amount of prolonged eye contact. That's like their love language.

Everyone else at Maverick HQ thinks they're just neurodivergent in some way and aren't freaked out by Mimic X's weird habits.

Even though most Hunters don't comment when Mimic X pulls something creppy, most do think they're strange. Zero doesn't think they're weird at all, he's not that socially experienced so Mimic X's habits are things he accepts quickly. That's actually part of the reason they latch onto Zero early on. Even though Zero accepts his cryptid best friend, one thing he can't get over is the sleep watching.

Bro can't sleep when he knows someone's watching. He gets 3 or 4 hours of sleep a day. His eye bags are designer.

One final thing, I'm referencing something specific and if you figure out what it is you get an apple fritter.

Alright, so. Context.

Any fans remember when the Megaman team at Capcom asked people from around the world to participate in the Boss Character Design Contest?

So, this guy was one of those and his actual creator was one of the guys who worked on Megaman 11. I can't remember what his name was, I'll have to get back to you guys on that but yup. I really liked his design and I decided to draw him. He's just a littol gremlin in my eyes. I've got a few more doodles for him but it'll be a while before you guys can see those.

Oh yeah btw, the guy's concept name was Bat Man.

Imma just leave this bad boi here for now.

I was scrolling on TikTok and I just-

Not my video but I just-

The comments kept making jokes about Leo having a strict skincare routine and I just love that idea.

I wanna add it to the Mutant Mashup Au, DaVinci probably did this skincare routine in secret for a while until Blue caught him. Now they have regular spa days together, it's more official once the Hamato clan see the Hidden City.

Mutant Mashup was created by both @possumsarenice and I.

Littol star bebe

What if the reason that everybody believes Lila is because there's no Google? XD

Ngl that one thought made me laugh
