QUIRKY

I go by Quirky! I run this blog for fun, and to share my interests with peers—though I mostly like to smash my favorite characters together in my Canon sandbox.

Making art is strictly a hobby that I share with you all. (edit my commissions are open if you reeealllyyyy want one). Also I am a multishipper so don’t expect me to stick to one pairing if I draw ships at all. (“Why did you block me?”)

(P.S. I go by any pronouns and I am an adult.)

(blog tags under the cut.)

- Solar and Ruin, cure arc and post nexus arc (specifically the episode where jack elbow drops ruin. ruin asks solar for a material and they get the chance to talk for the first time since solar came back)

- Eclipse and Ruin, cure arc and throughout EAPS

- Killer Sun, Sun, and Dark Sun (oughh the potential)

- Eclipse and Puppet turning into Eclipse and Charlie. The residual feelings and things left unsaid. In a very specific way, you can liken it to pearl + Rose quartz and then Steven in SU

- Sun and Eclipse post EAPS (they’re just neat to think about)

- Sun’s inability to separate himself from dimensional variants of his family, especially dazzle

- Carme and Moon

- Carme and his relationships with Moon haven, how he wants rust to open the borders more (this is in his debut episode)

- Sol and Dark Sun (what the hell did DS tell him offscreen)

- Moon and Nexus, that regret of sending your little brother down the wrong, self-destructive path immediately after swearing to be a good brother

- ruin and the first somewhat good relationships he had that weren’t based on lies (Ballora, lefty)

- Ruin and Tiger ESPECIALLY leading up to ruin’s death. Tiger wanted to help him even if neither were sure how to go about it. Ruin never had someone in his corner like that. They didnt know that would be the last time they saw each other and it makes me so fucking sad

- my very specific and mischaracterized version of Rigel and carme

Never had a strong one about her, I hadn’t watched the show when she was introduced and LAES never really interested me (only mildly with the reboot when night and day were around, I stopped paying attention when they split up).

Running out of things to ask about the AU stuff, are we/silly

I would definitely say that the AUs focus on groups at a time, but there’s nobody that’s not present who’s around at the point in the show I’m aiming for. For example, puppet is alive in monster hunter, because my initial focus with that AU was the early EAPS group. This is not to say they are the only group focus in that AU; different stories play out between different people. I have ideas for other groups in that same universe, even if the groups are never supposed to interact.

So, whatever I say here would be heavily subject to change as I place characters and swap them out and play with the impacts that would cause.

Most of what I had can be found here!

I’m gonna be so honest this one is only vibes. The inspo for it died quickly because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with it. It’s literally just the stellar squad works together as a task force and they all have vastly different lived experiences so their approaches are different but they need to work together, which is not that different at all from canon—there’s nothing really unique.

you mean the one that spawned in a few days ago that Francy is helping me with? hmm let's see

- WIP playlist

- Viva piñata (THE GAMES NOT THE SHOW) are games about attracting animals to your garden and basically cultivating a really nice one, achievements and awards optional. There’s a lot to do in them. I’m using them as a basis for this; there’s more to this than what’s in the games. For example, I want to expand on the world and the people a bit more.

- sun centric, along the lines of “Sun Runs Away” AUs but unsure if it’s specifically that. Essentially Sun is carving out a life for himself, on his terms, in another dimension. Solo mission, needs space from the family, got stuck in a new dimension alone? Idk yet. Dahlia is a major recurring mentor figure. (Not dahlia himself, a dimensional equivalent)

- slow burn, Sun working through some emotions while learning about the world and people and how to tend a garden. All the conflicts are emotional and personal and only sometimes external when coming from characters themselves. Very much a quiet, cozy village setting. There are definitely antagonists but unsure about actual villains yet. Think melting a glacier with a lighter kind of slow burn.

- im very excited about the character design potential. ideas ideas ideas

- planned characters (these guys I already have ideas for and are justified to be included): Sun, [VARIANTS OF: Eclipse, Sun, Moon, Carme, Dahlia, Willow, Aspen, Dazzle, Mel?, Solar, Sebastian and Joy, Charlie, TBA because characters appear as they get justified/when I find a place for them in a narrative] [I’ve been going back and forth on including Puppet, Nightshade, Nexus, and Rigel. I want them somewhere but they’d only really exist to haunt a specific narrative and may never actually show up at all outside of like, flashbacks.]

- character is king: learning about the characters is treated as plot points. the point of this is to learn about everyone and the world while sun works through his issues. because of this, I will be very selective about what I share about the characters besides very basic information like occupation. For example, Carme is a hunter, and that’s probably all I can say about him right now without spoiling things that I intend to be plot points.

- I would like to write a fic for this, but also draw comics occasionally. Concepts will be shared freely when I get around to it.

- do research into the games at your own risk. I do it loosey goosey style with most things. I’m moreso borrowing the world, the games were never really character heavy/focused.

okay okay yes gimme a second

- I loveeee syzygy’s takes on dahlia, especially when it comes to Dahlia being organic. Being able to sense things from a mile away, being able to smell things much sooner than the animatronics. Would probably notice that the celestial’s house reeks of bleach, because the smell doesn’t bother the animatronics.

- I totally forgot to include it in my second most recent dahlia doodle, and also because I haven’t quite figured out how to draw it, I also agree that dahlia is ripped as fuckkkk/silly

- Willow, Dahlia’s sister, being avian makes me think that one or both are a hybrid of the terrain and avian subspecies. As in, one of them is a half sibling, or both of them are hybrids. In my doodle above ^ I give Dahlia some feathers. On the other hand, I also wonder if their species goes by bojack horseman rules in which interspecies children are either one or the other and cannot be a mix.

- The thumbnail where Carme and Dahlia move in to the theater basement makes me think that dahlia has a lot of outfits

- he breathes through organs in his skin, like some insects.

- I really liked the idea of Dahlia using a glamor spell to soften his features a little bit, hide the more horrific of his scars. In my doodle, I give him sharper features and petals, and while I do think that the petals grow back fairly quickly I also like to draw the petals with little chunks taken out of them.

- I mentioned my rough size difference chart in my Carme HC post, but here it is again.

- I don’t draw dahlia’s canon outfit as shown. I give him longer sleeves and I make the dress act more like an apron; it’s fastened around his neck and at the waist, but it is closed in the back. I also emphasize the gold flowers a bit more and get rid of that strip at the bottom. Also also, bloomers aren’t really meant to be seen.

- ^ I go back and forth on making him have a pink dress with just a blue apron on top of it.

- While Carme has better comebacks and quips in conversation, Dahlia is faster and has a bit of attitude with it. This is totally not based on how they act on non-canon streams.

- it’s hard for me personally to talk about dahlia’s ptsd because a lot of my family are retired veterans and I’ve been on the other side of it. I have a lot of conflicting feelings about it because of what I watch them go through and the things they’ve said or done that they don’t mean. There are things that dahlia does sometimes in the show that reminds me of the fact, like how Dahlia acted when Sun and moon failed to console servant Sun.

- I like the idea that joy and dahlia enable each other’s bad habits. Yayyy messy friendships
