So, humanized Nailmasters :3

It's really fun trying to figure out how their shells work as human clothes.

Also Sky:cotl helped a lot, funny how the two games have the opposite lore about light.

The 3 Nailmasters: Mato, Oro and Sheo.

Alongside the Nailsmith, they've appeared in my most recent dream, in which I had greeted all 4 of them with a big hug because I was super happy to see them. 😊

Oro, because of his tsundere persona, is clearly not so affectionate, which I noticed by the way he returned my hug. It was a light hug that, in the real world, usually makes me feel a tad awkward, since I'm not exactly a big fan of light touches. (e.g. getting tapped on the shoulder, which, in many cases, has literally startled me.)

Sheo, on the other hand, returned my hug in a somewhat firmer fashion, even smiling and verbally greeting me back as he did. I definitely liked that, much like a good, clearly audible high-five, or a light but firm press when I exchange a fist-bump with someone else.

Mato, given his fatherly and very kind personality, picked me up in his arms and basically gave me a bone-crushing hug. Deep physical pressure, y'all! Like a good massage! That's what I'm the biggest fan of if it comes to being touched, or, in this specific case, getting hugged! /pos /lh

Out of this, I can most likely conclude that out of all 3 of the Nailmasters, Mato is deffo the most affectionate one, given his already loving personality. Heck, I can already foresee him almost literally hugging (read: squeezing) the Shade out of his child, little Ghost! 😆🥰

As for the Nailsmith, he hugged me back just the same as his partner Sheo did, and his beard felt nice and soft, too, sorta like I was hugging Santa Claus or someone similar. 🤭 Man oh man, how very touch-starved I've been for the past days... I'm so longing for bone-crushing hugs.

So yeah, I guess my most recent dream has fully confirmed my headcanons regarding the levels of affectionateness of all 3 of the Nailmasters. Oro is the least affectionate, Mato is the most affectionate, and Sheo is ranked in between his two bickering brothers. 😜😆

And God almighty, how much I've been wishing I could actually hug Mato as well ever since waking up from that very dream. Though I'm usually not that big of a fan of being touched myself, nothing beats a massive, bone-crushing hug like how Mato gave it to me, in all honesty.

And that wraps my quite interesting long-ish post up. Thanks for tuning in with me, and hopefully until the next one. 😊👋
