♡ SPRUNKI OBSESSION ♡

Phase 1

Phase 2

You find her in the core through a mission with the ‘Infinite Food Bowl’

Beanies believes something very strong lives in the core, and believes the Infinite Food Bowl could be used to lure it out so he can research it while it’s distracted eating.

It wasn’t EXACTLY what he meant but he did manage to lure out a very fucked up Guillotina. (She still looked roughly like her third form but now she also has several burns due to all the fire in the core)

After leaving the food bowl in the core, it lures her out and she follows your cats home after picking up their scent.

At first she’s just in your backyard all messed up and will very much hiss if you try to interact with her using the mouse at all. After you finish the mission both Beanies and Butch will have conversations. Beanies showing disappointment in failing to lure what he actually thought was down there, but still having interest in trying to research how Tina was still alive even after literally EVERYTHING, but also knows they’ll have to fix her up first. Butch, of course, has a bit of reasonable concern about bringing Tina back, but hey it’s your death wish so he’ll let you face whatever consequences come from this, and has concern for Tina’s state. That was still his cat after all, and he knows with her state it must not be fun at all being all rotted and burnt up.

Eventually after a few in game days another short conversation with Butch and Beanies happens both expressing plans to help attempt to patch Tina up that night. (Even if Butch is a bit on edge working with Beanies, given their implied history. He’s putting that aside because his main focus is just trying to help Tina.)

The next morning Tina will not be in the backyard, but she will return the next day mostly patched up!

(I originally planned to put her in a typical cone but I thought the little donut collar would be easier to draw out. Plus it looks nice on her)

She is very much still in a very bad and untrusting mood towards you. I mean, fair, we killed her like 3 times.

Another in game day passes and a mini tutorial pops up with Beanies. He mentions that the Infinite Food Bowl will keep her fed, but she definitely doesn’t seem happy with just that. So they have a genius idea, why not feed a stray or one of your reject cats to her?

Have a cat that has awful stats but doesn’t fit any of the criteria for the other NPCs or you just don’t like the stray that came in? Feed them to her! BUT, you can only do it a few times a day, as despite her never-ending hunger you still don’t want to overfeed her, after all. (This also plays in to still in some way incentivize the general gameplay loop even with her later perk unlock.)

This unlocks her essentially at first as an NPC, no spoken dialogue of course but a description of what happens would play out.

First scene:

‘(She seems satisfied, chewing away chunks of the offered cat from their corpse eagerly.)’

‘(You make an attempt to reach towards her, but she growls and hisses loudly at you in response.)’

‘(Looks like she still doesn’t want to be touched just yet. But you can see she’s just ever so slightly more relaxed now.)’

Second scene:

‘(She looks pleased at her last few meals.)’

‘(You actually manage to place your hand on her head, if only for a second. She visibly hesitates before shrinking away from your touch.)’

‘(Whether begrudgingly or not, it seems she’s starting to trust you. At least just a bit.)’

Third scene:

‘(Surprisingly, she approaches you first this time.)’

‘(She looks much calmer than when she first got here, and even eagerly leans into your hand for a pet.)’

‘(You can still see a hungry glare in her eye whenever she glances over the house, but it seems she’s started to calm down.)’

‘(Looks like a nice snack now and again has been keeping her at bay.)’

‘(You have no idea if her calmness is genuine trust or if it’s just that she’s well aware you’re the reason she’s been getting free food. Maybe both.)’

The first 3 levels only require 1, 5, and 10 cats respectively.

After that, the fourth level truly unlocks her perk. (15 cats)

Perk unlock:

‘(As you peek over the fence to check on Guillotina, you notice a pile of scraps from the cat you’d fed her.)’

‘(She’s preoccupied with the rest of the corpse, but the placement of the scraps of meat seem to be intentional.)’

‘(Guillotina will now leave you scraps of cats you feed her!)’

Yep, when you feed her cats, she’ll leave you a small handful of food in exchange! It’s not a LOT, but it’s sort of a ‘I don’t feel like doing a run and/or I’m low on food and don’t have good cats, so I’ll sack a few cats to have food to go on another day or two to try and get better cats for a run’ (this is why there’s a limit on how many cats you can feed her in one day, so you still will have to go on runs and not purely rely on her.)

As the levels rise you get a small boost to how much food she’ll give you (basically she becomes more willing to share what you give her)

When you finish her last level though…

Last unlock:

‘(It looks like Tina’s holding something.)’

‘(She holds it out and offers it to you. It’s a broken, snapped collar.)’

‘(You obtained the ‘Broken Butcher’s Collar’!)’

(She also will not assist in house defenses, she’s guarding the house while you do those)

Like Zaratana or Pyrophina, you can add her to your team temporarily! She’ll be in a much weaker state compared to them, though, to balance out that her collar item is reusable.

(Don’t worry some Beanies fuckery imbued that collar with weird abilities it brings her back from the dead if her body gets destroyed on an adventure, she’ll also revive at the end of battle like a normal cat on the team.)

She’s still somewhat bulky, with 75-100 HP (still figuring out a fair range for her) and retains most of the moveset of her first fight.

Be warned though, she also comes with the ‘Necrophage’ disorder (to parallel her cannibalistic tendencies) so if she’s by a downed teammate she will try and eat them.

After the first 3 NPC levels, Tina recovers from her restoration as well, if being left scarred from it all, though.

Her infinite NPC levels change from being based on her leaving you food to her digging up or finding random equipment or consumables for you. She can be seen peeking over the fence by the box where you send cats out to or sometimes just doing random stuff. If you unlock Zaratana or Pyrophina she will also have some interactions with them. (In fact if you were to go the backyard during then you’d see both there!)

During house defenses she can have a few different animations. (Confusion and trying to see what’s attacking the house, her puffed up ready to try and help defend the house, or just her sitting in front of the house to try blocking the way and keep the other cats safe. (I mean whatever would she do if they got to her food source after all lmao. There’s also special animations for her refights specifically, mainly just a lot of confusion over it, and not really wanting to look at the third fight, she does not want to remember looking that fucked up)

Oh you can also pet her using the mouse :3

I love Tina if you can’t tell :)

The quintet of Jay's Numberhumans, but as Frickbear's characters!! (Mechanics and alt ver under the cut!)

Designed an outfit concept for EDI!

And here’s the concepts of extra characters. (These were the few I could think of, and also very few of these characters will be in the actual roster)

Inspired by a old now lost media AO3 fanfic i had called "Lucas' Fake Friends".

CHARACTERS IN THIS MOD:

Louie/Louie, Louie (JD1)

Fredrick/Fancy Footwork (JD2020)

Lucas/Forget You (JD3)

A while ago on Silksongs release I made a little insert of Pasy within the Hollow Knight universe, I thought about how she would fit in, I named her "Greedy Rosary". I never completed the digital render but I wanted to share my appreciation for the game in my own way 💜
