If you’re thinking “Wow! These are cool and shiny! I wonder if they have any ideas of how the battles against these cool and shiny bugs would go.”

Then you’re in luck because I do have ideas about how the battles against these cool and shiny bugs would go!

I meant to have a bunch of Louie Faces Trials And Gets Real Tired Of Facing Trials. At least one of them was supposed to be paralleling Olimar teaching Louie to wrap a sprained wrist with Louie doing it himself now, and another was him sharpening his knife in a way that hopefully conveys just how sick of the planet he is at that point. Actually I did draw that one -

...I never finished all of ‘em to where I was happy with them, so I just kept going without them.

I left off with... Louie sitting up in a tree? Yeah he comes down and there are a bunch of dweevils in his camp trying to steal his things. Dunno what they were doing on the surface. Maybe they smelled good food or somethin shfjsfs. Louie chases them off back to the cave they came from, but doesn’t bother to attack them any because they’re fast, he’s tired, and most of them aren’t worth cooking anyway. Once they’re gone he just goes to sleep. Because stars know he just does not have the patience or energy for anything else at this point.

But some time in the next few days Louie comes back from whatever he was doing that day late, and finds that dweevils had come back and stolen lots of things but most importantly the Flare Canon. And.. that’s about all poor Louie can take. So right then and there, in the middle of the night, he takes his knife and follows those dweevils into that cave.

Impulsive anger only takes him so far though. Soon he’s too far, too lost to get back up, so what can he do but keep going? By the time he reaches the bottom he is exhausted in every way he could be and also hungry

And once he finds that canon he just. Collapses. 

Pikmin is like “This is a world that can stand on it’s own BUT there’s also space for you to do your own thing. Your choice go wild.” and I love that about it. I cherish games like that.

Have some Emperor Bulblaxes! and a few headcanons
