Just a silly little guy 🍉

So every time I go to look for him, I see this:

Presumably so that they could compete for the Elder Slayer award:

When Rocky discovers how humans can just.. tune people out he is hocked and more importantly very annoyed because he’ll try to get Grace’s attention and half the time he’s just nodding along or just doesn’t answer while he’s doing something

So one day Grace is doing just that, barely nodding along while doing something on the laptop and Rocky has a thought; “loud noises wake up humans while they’re sleeping, could they also be used to snap them into focus?” Rocky tests his hypothesis with a loud whistle, and to Rocky’s utter delight Grace immediately snaps his head up and looks at Rocky with a confused expression.

So he starts using it when he wants Grace’s attention, repeating that same exact whistle with perfect volume and pitch, at first Grace is a bit annoyed but he usually forgets about it when Rocky starts talking, but slowly over time there’s barely a reaction, Infact, Grace starts reacting quicker and without thought.

Rocky, ever curious, sees if he can get Grace to associate other sounds with certain things. He’s sure it won’t work, but he’s bored out of his mind and well. For science!!

So whenever Grace eats, Rocky will make a barely audible clicking sound before hand and Grace doesn’t notice, after a week or two of this Rocky decides to test it out

So when Grace inevitably forgets to eat one day, instead of Rocky annoying Grace into doing it, he just does the clicking sound, he doesnt expect it to actually do anything but low and behold a moment later Grace looks up and says “huh. Hey Rocky I might take a break and go eat, wanna come?”

Someone complained about my post story head canons saying that Siffrin would not teach the proper favor tree ritual and I made this comic out of spite /j

I just wanted to elaborate on my ideas mostly (I don’t have the same fervor for writing that I do for drawing so please forgive me if it’s clunky or out of character)

Here's the Bunsen Honeydew Propaganda

Also, what would be Loop's reaction to each of them be?

WE WILL NOT LET BONNIE REACH THAT LEVEL OF DEPRESSION. the only idea for them is, they're always the second generation and their guide upon seeing them near the Tree gets a panic attack, takes their hand, and goes straight to the party to explain everything. NO JOKING AROUND WITH KIDS!!

(i have a funny variation in which the guides just accumulate under the Tree with each failed attempt. first it's Time trying to guide Sif, then both of them failing Isa, and then Mira kinda just gives up early feeling these people as her true family. and then they all sit there like "are we gonna get the new Odile? or will it be random?" AND THEN BONNIE SHOWS UP. and everyone goes like! nope!! kiddo bring here all the adults we'll give them all the answers!! and btw they love you!!!)

as for Loop, hysterical laughter with screaming IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME I'M THE ONE GUILTY OF EVERYTHING at first, but later (when they're capable of coherent speech again), it's mostly So Much Sympathy. and fear -- they're genuinely afraid of how much everyone's changed. unlike them, who's still the jokester of the team! teehee!

(meanwhile the team is almost disturbed by the amount of fake smiles and overly optimistic tone. they all need a hug in their own way)

they also are a lot more… genuine with each other. Time doesn't hide her fondness of her friends nor her disdain for herself. Cycle is a sarcastic smartass who quickly gets back to their routine with Loop like it's been nothing. Riri is more easily irritated, but also a lot less anxious. AND they all know exactly how much everyone's lost for the sake of the team, so it's easier to open up!! (yes i just wanna get them a big ol' therapy session. judge me)
