#phenomalore

absolutely fucks up a good bath. You just know he has five billion bath bombs and never enough body wash/shampoo scents. I can imagine Blazer not seeing him for hours on a day off, even if they lived in the same apartment, because he's chilling in the bath with no lights on. Doesn't care much if the water is cool or hot, just wants to soak for longer than any human should.

talked about it at length on ao3, but I'll say it again: he eats bones. 100%. Can and will eat an *entire* rack of ribs when you're turned around. Otherwise, he really enjoys crunchy things. A good crackle is all he really needs to be happy.

Despite the previous note, he actually has a fairly small appetite. slapping on the idea that he can absorb energy from the sun's light, then the only reason he needs to eat is for nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.

used to be bad about putting his fingers in his mouth and licking/tasting things he shouldn't, but eventually got bothered enough by Blazer + SDN media people to stop. He still does it in private though. (Important to note that this is not a species/cultural difference but instead him being weird all on his own.)

I’ll have a big focus on Phenomaman and Urgotians as a whole because I love speculative biology for alien species, and if I can tie that into a fandom, I might as well.

I post fanfiction on Ao3 with the username local_iidiot, so check that out if you’re interested. I’ll post links to fics once they’re completed. I’ll also post art!

Please please please send me asks about stuff!! Feel free to send art requests for Phenomaman and ships, or questions/comments about lore and whatnot. I love sharing my thoughts on these kinds of things.

(Picturing him at a fancy dinner with Blonde Blazer, his beautiful girlfriend, and having to open his mouth to let the food fall back out onto his plate because he can't eat the sauce on the steak or something and he just figured it out.)

Oh I don’t think he ever is able to have a finished list, unfortunately. Lots of food in the world. I think he’d have times where he’d think he’d have a safe food but because it isn’t a (common) human allergen it wouldn’t be labeled on a package (like the way it’s noted if a product is processed in the same building as peanuts). It takes a lot for him to understand English words for things too, considering that I doubt ingredients in a list are taught as basic vocabulary.

I will add that a.) I imagine that most of it got done before he was ever in a relationship with Blazer, let alone a hero. Kind of have to eat every day, so he’d learn quick. b.) Personally don’t think he would EVER let something fall out of his mouth like that. 9/10 times he will grin and bear it and complain of stomach pain for the rest of the evening.

Yes and no?

I don’t think he’d have much interest in it on his own, especially with how isolating the game can feel at times and the lack of obvious direction. I don’t think he’d like exploring by himself or feeling so weak, either, so he’d probably just build in creative mode if anything.

However! If he was introduced to it by, say, the Z-Team, he would absolutely love it. I think he’d kind of become the team guard and would fight off monsters while everyone else is building/mining. He’d be the first one to get netherite gear because the team wants their bodyguard to be as equipped as can be! They’d also send him on BS fetch quests and give him all of their treasure maps and he’d somehow find everything they asked for.
