Tumblr Homework:
Create a roster of 8 fighting game characters drawn from literary characters in the public domain.
Due 7/11/2026
Guidelines:
Creating a well-rounded roster
Be inclusive of as many literary traditions as you can
Characters can be from any genre
Decide for yourself where to draw the line between literature, folklore, mythology, etc
Draw from as many eras and cultures as possible
It should be difficult to narrow your choices down to 8
Envisioning each character
What moves do they use? (Think about iconic moments/activities that could be animated as attacks)
A playable character might be able to summon supporting characters for special attacks (i.e. Winnie the Pooh as the playable character, but a special move causes Kanga to momentarily appear and kick)
What would it feel like to play as each character?
My picks:
Don Quixote
Sun Wukong
Sherlock Holmes
Pippi Longstocking
Quasimodo
Mr. Darcy
Alice (Wonderland)
The Brothers Grimm
My style of fighting game would be a 2d platform fighter. What I call the All Stars fighter. Like Super Smash Brothers, but more heavily inspired by Jump Ultimate Stars (2006).
Quixote is a High risk High reward character. Your strategy will mostly involve sending Pancho Villa In front to intercept attacks while you stay in the back and Read Chivalry In order to empower your sweeping Charging Lance strikes. They have a long wind-up and lag, so you'd better not miss or you're in for a serious beat down.
Wukong is a classic zoner. You're going to spend most of your time Cloud Somersaulting and using Bodies Beyond The Body to cover yourself with tufts of blown fur. And if they ever get too close, your extending staff will show them their rightful place.
Sherlock Holmes has a unique defensive strategy that allows him to build in power over the course of the battle. Whenever he Observes an opponent's attack, it adds to a damage multiplier (especially if that attack made contact and he timed his Observation correctly). The downside of Observe is that you still take damage, but this can also lure careless opponents into confusing an early lead for a certain victory. An elementary mistake.
Pippi is a great introductory character. She's got good throws, simple projectiles, and excellent short range options. She's easy to play and the animations are very charming. Play as her enough and you'll learn a lot about building combos thanks to the hit stun effects of her bag of gold attacks.
Quasi is your classic grappler. Lots of options to grab opponents and deal heavy damage with bell-ringing attacks.
Darcy is a parry riposte fighter (also called a punisher or whiff). His primary offensive options are terrible, but if you can time your defenses just right, he can deliver a witty insult that can chain into a devastating combo.
Alice is a surprisingly ruthless rush down character. She attacks by summoning the Wonderlanders, each of whom has their own stats. White Rabbit is fast but weak, Mock Turtle is slow but hefty, Queen of Hearts has limited range but high damage output, and Hatter can make them all change places. We're all mad here.
The Opera Phantom (thank you @deathsmallcaps for the idea, I like it better than Brothers Grimm) is a trap setter. Create Secret Shortcuts to avoid attacks. Limit your opponent's movement with Stage Sabotage. interrupt your opponent's attacks with Enchanting Organ. And when they're cornered, punish them with Falling Chandelier.
Stages:
Heaven (Journey to the West): Vertical tiered stage with the stables and orchards on the bottom, ascending to scenes of the Jade Emperor's palace, such as the banquet and the celestial warriors.
8th Circle of Hell (Divine Comedy): Simple flat horizontal stage with a lot of very colorful scenery for spectators to enjoy.
Spain (Don Quixote): Pastoral. Mostly flat, some varied elevation. Destructible windmills.
Destroyed London (The War of the Worlds): Martian tripods wander the flaming ruins of London, harvesting survivors and spreading the red weed. Lots of obstacles and hiding spots.
Notre Dame (The Hunchback of Notre Dame): Painstakingly crafted recreation of all the visual details put forth in the text. If you play this stage on April 15th, it will be on fire.
Gertie the Dinosaur (Gertie the Dinosaur): Literally just the cartoon Gertie the Dinosaur playing on loop.
The Emerald City (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz): Book accurate, so it isn't actually green. The outer walls are green, and the yellow brick road is visible past that. Background characters, including Dorothy's crew, can be seen wearing green-tinted spectacles.
Roaring Twenties (The Great Gatsby & others): Fantastic house party taking place in Jay Gatsby's house in West Egg. Plenty of other characters can be found here as Easter eggs, such as Oswald the Rabbit chatting up Betty Boop (dog head version).
Pre-fight Dialogue:
If you don't play many fighting games, then this is something you wouldn't know about but it's very important here. For years now, it's been common to have characters deliver some kind of quip to each other before the fight begins, and sometimes, if they have some kind of prior relationship or can make a specific insult, then you will get a unique bit of dialogue that only happens when those two characters face each other.
And sometimes they're just funny.
And since this is a literature-inspired game, it feels especially important to include as much character-specific dialogue as possible. Especially if there are only 8 characters on the roster.
Please help me write the 64 pre-fight dialogues for these (or your own) characters!
Don Quixote: You, sir, are a coward to fight from behind a mask!
Phantom: Your incessant prattling distracted me from Christine's solo. For that you will die.
Sun Wukong: Hey Pip, check out these cool new moves I just learned!
Pippi Longstocking: Sounds like fun! Whoever loses has to pay for ice cream!
Sherlock Holmes: Fascinating! My exact double with regards to practically every detail.
Sherlock Holmes: Indeed, let us put that to the test.
Gatsby: *thunders onto screen in his Rolls-Royce Phantom Jonckheere Coupe, jack-knifes into a wide, showy turn, lifts his driving goggles and grins* Hey sweetie, do you want to take a...ride... Wait, HOW OLD ARE YOU??
Pippi: *playing in the dirt like a gremlin* Old enough to know how to throw hands. You don't even have any candy in there, do ya, creepo?
(I haven't read or seen anything Pippi Longstockings since I was a kid, so I hope I'm remembering the right energy)
-----
Missingno: *indecipherable glitching noises* *flings candy all over the arena*
Mary Poppins: Well, you're a right mess, aren't you? I'll have to teach you a lesson in manners, and then maybe you'll not be so naughty.
Missingno: *angry glitching noises*
Mary Poppins: *tuts* What an awful mouth you have! We'll have to wash that out, too.
------
Betty Boop: How 'bout after this little shindig you take me out for dessert, big boy?
Count Chocula: *blushes*
-------
Moses: My Lord has decreed that I must come and split your ass like the Red Sea.
Monkey: OoooOooOooh! Don't threaten me with a good time, boss! 😈

I really thought more people would be volunteering their rosters. I expected that I was going to have to fight off questions about why I chose Mr. Darcy (thought it would be funny)
Why I went with Quasimodo when Dracula and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde are right there (too predictable).
Why there's no Jules Verne or Dostoyevsky (haven't read it).
Why there's no Shakespeare (I very strongly considered adding Hamlet and giving him a soliloquy mechanic, but I felt like I was already over-representing England, and Mr. Darcy was funnier)
Show me your thoughts, literaries of Tumblr!
What about stages? Mini games? Unplayable Boss characters? How about arguments over the rules? Should we allow Miyamoto Musashi of The Book Of Five Rings, or must we exclude memoirs?
@answeringmysister thanks for the rec! I will just do the characters, here we go!
1. Othello - his only weakness is personal betrayal, and that doesn’t really come up in a personal fighting game. He is well versed in the arts of war :)
2. Odysseus - cunning, skilled bowman, and also fought in a war
3. The Phantom (of the Opera) - maybe not the best at hand to hand, but I bet could whip up some interesting weapons and mini traps
4. Beowulf - he’s a sea serpent slayer. I must include him
5. White Fang - can kill pretty much any animal he sets his mind to kill, including humans, huge
6. Jesus - can do a whoooole lotta shit
7. Peter Pan - can sword fight, fly, and literally drives grown men insane
8. Nana Miriam - knows enough magic to defeat what was essentially a giant hippo x Fire version Blastoise and nearly drive all hippos to extinction.
I realize this is partly mythological but yeah :)
White Fang is my favorite out of this list.
Peter Pan, Beowulf and the Opera Phantom are all solid choices.
Odysseus I left out on purpose, but you're not wrong that he'd be a great character. Good DLC option.
Othello is an interesting pick. Could be controversial, but also very interesting. Give him a rage meter, maybe? Oh yeah, that's sure to go over well.
Nana Miriam leans too heavily as folklore to me, rather than literature. Otherwise I'd say hell yeah.
Jesus I could see as a background character. Lucifer Morningstar, on the other hand, based on his appearance in Paradise Lost, would be dope. He could have an alternate form as the legged serpent.
So I looked up a list of public domain characters, because tbh I wasn't sure who was or wasn't counted. Here are a few of my favorites to consider.
Babar the Elephant (Babar)
Eeyore (Winnie the Pooh)
Nosferatu/ Count Orlok
Audrey II (apparently?!)
Count Chocula
Gertie the Dinosaur (early animation icon)
Felix the Cat
Betty Boop
Mary Poppins (the book version)
Oswald the Rabbit (Disney)
Missingno (Pokemon)
Buck Rogers
and finally: Moses
I hope these help.
There's a lot of good ones here, but...Count Chocula?
Yeah, apparently the whole cereal-monsterverse is public domain. It's like the Dark Universe with too much sugar.

on watching a parent age
i saw somebody say “what if you’re gone and i haven’t become anything yet” and basically that broke me on a random thursday evening
Beautiful. This fucked me up.
"i think", i say, about my own ocs, who i made,
“my headcanon is…” i say about the canon that i made about my own characters
having a bit of a hard time finding your fakeeons but I'm very interested, can I ask what types have you done and do you plan on making any more?
Thank you for your ask! I have posted... I think some of them before here but it has been a while and I take any opportunity to show em of (one day I will make an more official looking post) I have done all the types (and some extra) I just like designing mons and if pokemon doesn't give me them I will make my own some refs are OLD and are in the works on a new ref so click the read more if you would like to see em, it is long post tho!
Baseon - Normal Type
Hey OP, can I draw some of your fakeons with some of mine? I adore your designs!
So when you're telling a story and the POV characters are the villains, are you SUPPOSED to root for them, or not?
I kinda popped off while doing some painting practice the other day, and wanted to post it.
(full disclosure: this is heavily based on a piece of uncredited, probably AI art I found while searching online for references. The painting is my own, but the idea isn't original. If the reference picture this was based on was a real human's art, please tell me so I can give credit to the original artist!)
How do you pronounce MLM?
"Men who Love Men"
"Man-Loving Men"
"Memmuhlemm"

Needle felted a lil Whimsicott :3
Whimsicott yes!
I really wish arknights didn't have a character who's named for an ethnic slur of my people
http://www.rsdb.org/slur/lapp
If you wouldn't use esk*mo, g*psy, or r*dskin, you shouldn't use l*pp.
Like. Why is this okay. Why do people support this.
It's also fucked up that this character is snow/cold themed and animal themed. Two things that Sámi people, and other arctic circle native groups, are typically racially stereotyped with. Sámi people are not animals and we are not "snow eaters".
Hey arknights fans can you not be in my replies telling me, a sámi person, how to feel about an ETHNIC SLUR being used as a fun character name? I know gacha games rot your brain but can you attempt one critical thought on this?
Actually I'm going to need non-indigenous people to reblog this. The only reason shit like this gets excused is because people don't know anything about sámi people. Begging people to listen to us and understand how painful it is to see hate speech treated like a fun character feature.
I really appreciate everyone interacting with this is in good faith ❤️ it's been really nice to see such an outpouring of love and understanding.
To the Arknights fans still in the notes saying "it's just a place name!!" Where do you think the placename came from? L*pp land is just a way that surrounding Sweden, Nord, and Finn culture referred to "the place where the fucking L*pps lived". It is STILL a slur when referring to the Place.
There have been some good questions on how Sámi territory should be referred to going forward. I would ask that you use our chosen name, Sàpmi. The nation/place is Sápmi, the people are Sámi. If anyone has any other questions please feel free to ask, I really appreciate people caring about our culture.
If anyone is interested in learning about other Sámi issues, please keep eyes on the illegal windfarm construction that we recently successfully fought against.
https://apnews.com/article/norway-sami-wind-farm-energy-indigenous-54f4cafbee29578dc9de1f206df3f9ff
Ummm yeah this is fucked. I had no idea that word was a slur, and though I doubt it's come up more than a handful of times in my life, it's still good to know that that's not an okay word. @honeylemony No offense meant, but how common are the Sámi people outside of Northern Europe? I don't know much of anything about the Sámi other than they are the native(?) population of Scandinavia (?).
