Developed a few Smurfs today.
Starting with Alchemist! He saw Firefly for the first time and was like “yoo were you involved in a lab accident too?” Smooth way to start a friendship /lh
He's slightly terrified of Bubble. Learned his lesson. Genuinely does find Firefly sweet though and introduces her to the wonders of chemistry - wouldn’t you know it look at these other cool glow in the dark things! Manages to invent the worlds first glow sticks for her.
I’m envisioning Alchemist as a sort of awkward guy. Maybe on the introverted side, means well but constantly has his foot in his mouth and is insecure about the lasting effects from that one potion.
Wants to do cool magic like Papa and Sorcerer and thinks he's good at it but the thing is. Alchemist is actually just good at natural chemistry. He thinks he's throwing in magic ingredients but congrats u somehow found uranium. Er, most of his experiments are more harmless than that. If he ever discovered his real talent he'd be a fine fine chemist but he insists on the al part not realising. Its cool though. He's still discovered plenty of interesting science experiments.
Firefly thinks he’s sweet too :)
Decided to revamp Yukio a bit. Originally he was supposed to be a non next gen next gen but .... yeah. Explorer is a little tsundere but. He DOES like Spelunker. The ship is kinda based on an old fave TTTE of mine with a similar dynamic jfsekjf Explorer is like “lmao easy pickings Im gonna crush this guy’s heart” and then somehow keeps coming back and its like? Why tho its just some guy who’s obsessed with caves a bit too much I can literally charm and buy my way into anyone else’s life and Archie is like “Spelunker dude we’re friends I’m telling you Explorer is a morally corrupt piece of trash what do you see in him he’s probably cheating on you he’s shifty and has commitment issues” and Spelunker is like “we have a shared farm on Stardew Valley called Strawberry Gorge :)” Yukio. Fine. That's his son now. He got a man and family suck on that Yorkshireboy.
So now I got Alchemist/Firefly, Explorer/Spelunker, lets go 3 for 3 and introduce my final - Bubble/Mouse
and once again I’m not pulling this outta thin air I justify all my crackships 😈
Nearsighted girl and teleport girl. How many times does it take to crash into the same person before it becomes suspiciously non accidental. Maybe Mouse just thinks the bubbles are cool. Maybe Mouse is about to fall off the edge of a goddamn cliff and Bubble manages to control the teleporting to save her. Its win for win. Mouse still refuses glasses.
Funfact her birthname is SmurfMole but some bitchass (probably SmurfSapphire) made fun of her cuz apparently moles are ugly so she started calling herself SmurfMouse bcuz “mice are cute”. Bubble says she’d look cute with glasses and being called Mole. Wait did she say that out loud nvm goodbye there she goes
Mouse is wearing glasses the next day. Then Bubble sees her and she hides them in her pocket again. Its gonna be a slow process until somesmurf invents contacts /lh. But its a start.

Spelunker is mine
