. . . . Ohhh I was sholting hardd ugggg . . Ok but in all seriousness, that's my favourite piece of work I've ever done after having the longest break from digital drawing i misse it deeply </3 . . . Based on the wedding scene from tomodachi - yes these two got married and spoiler alert: they already have a kid lmao they were extremely quick with that HELPP . . Hopefully any Colt x Shelly shippers will eat it with pleasure <33

Everybody loves a girlboss and a malewife.

So...despite the fact Squad Busters is ending development by the end of this year, for some baffling reason they just posted this earlier??????

THERES SO MUCH TO UN PACK LIKE THE CAPTION???? THE FACT THIS IS A REFERENCE TO HATSUNE MIKU ×ROMEO AND CINDERELLA OF ALL THINGS. THE FACT THIS JUST IMPLIED SHELLY AND COLT FUCKED (the robot arm is from his ultra form and the song is about... yknow) DUDE THIS GAME IS DEAD YET WE'RE STILL WINNING

What I'm curious about is that what is this post for. Like is this just a silly one off or hints to a new collab (possibly a Vocaloid or Miku collab )

Yes, we do.

Here is a piece I made into a cute little Sholt Polaroid <3 Down Below you will find both the finished product and the drawing unedited. <3

hi guysss!!! im so happy my post actually reached some people omfg and thank you so much to the ones that commented and want me to post, y'all im so grateful!!

I was thinking I could start off with some headcanons I have for both Colt and Shelly to kinda explain their backstory a little?? and im also figuring out the world building too so you guys are gonna have to go with my indecisiveness here lol

ok so without further ado, let the headcanons begin

Brawler genetics

Brawlers are basically mutated humans that possess a certain dormant gene that "awoke" once they had been exposed to the radiation of the purple gems. However, as the Starr Park (not to be confused with StarrCorp) fiasco had only happened a few years before the time at with the action is taking place, the gems and gem radiation are not that well researched, so the mutations vary widely, from enhanced-but-still-human-capacities like strength (primo), intelligence (jessie) or even pulmonary capacity (Amber) to superhuman abilities like Nita's force-waves, Tara's ability to summon her shadows and Leon's invisibility.

Some brawlers lost the 'genetic lottery', the gem radiation only enhancing a hue from their hair and bringing it forward, hence Colt's and Shelly's crazy hair colors. Still, most of the brawlers with standard weapons eg. Piper, Shelly, Colt, Brock etc. have slightly better vision acuity than the normal human. Think of it as 30/20 vision instead of 20/20, so not that impressive but also not nothing.

Something that all brawlers have in common, regardless of the secondary powers they might possess, is their durability and their rapid regeneration. this is also what makes them apt for taking down bigger threats.

The headquarters

So basically the way I see it, StarrCorp acts as a company dispatching heroes, in this case the brawlers, on different missions, say to protect a certain area from natural disasters or to catch rogue brawlers/ high-rank criminals that the police (the normal police, people that do not possess the ability to regenerate rapidly and other powers/mutations) cannot deal with.

StarrCorp is a company ran for brawlers, by brawlers. Unfortunately since there are only so many brawlers and not many people possess the brawl gene (the name is a work in progress lol), some brawlers also work in the offices to come up with battle strategies and basically glorified detective work. This position is usually filled by the more skilled strategists, the brawlers that have been in this field of work for longer.

But in such dire times people also need entertainment, which is also provided by StarrCorp in the form of brawl matches. Yes, friendly matches between skilled brawlers broadcasted live for every enthusiast to see (makes Colette much more relatable in these circumstances right? lol), so brawlers are bound to have fans. (some more than others *ahem* *ahem*)

The headquarters of StarrCorp are based in center of Supercity, a short walk from the Brawl Arena, the stadium where the fellow participants brawl for sport. Of course, StarrCorp has centers all around the globe but the main one, with the most qualified work forces, aka the profesional brawlers, is located in Supercity. Basically the brawlers in game are the best of the best, the big league if you will, which kinda explains how new brawlers appear too, as in joining the elite force from their previous centers and trainings!!

Colt

Colton Bronson Price (he changed his name as to not be affiliated with his true family later on) — Alsoooo Im pretty sure I read this name in a fanfic when I was like 12(??) and it stuck with me ever since. I remember it was on Wattpad but I don't have the app anymore, anyway great fanfic I'll look into it and tell you guys how it was called.

he's in his late 20's early 30's somewhere around that age, I wanna say 29.

Has a southern accent but he hides it most of the time. however, in true 'reformed redneck' fashion, it still resurfaces when he drinks or when he (very rarely as to not displease anyone) argues with someone.

PR loves him, he's the Cover Boy for everything StarrCorp related. I'm talking interviews, magazines, photoshoots, advertisements, basically the whole package. He's THE celebrity.

He is very well mannered in a southern charm kind of way, he has crazy people skills, he could talk up a rock if need be. This is why mostly everybody loves him.

He loves loves LOVES the attention as he never really got it as a kid, his parents being preoccupied with other things (like figuring out how to not get caught by the law)

He was homeschooled for most of his academic life and didn't really get to play or even comunicate with other people his age which is why he always felt like he had to prove himself in relation with others (this also contributed to his huge 'yes man' attitude). *can y'all see I got my inspiration from Brett Hand from Inside Job? lmao

Has major mommy issues. Major. Huge.

When he grew up a bit more he decided he didn't want to be associated with his parents anymore as their tactics were questionable at best (especially Belle's) so he moved in with his aunt, Pam, and his little cousin, Jess. Junior year he joined a high-school in the Junker family's town where he met his best mate, Brock, and later after he graduated he went on to pursue his dream career in the big city.

Was an absolute Frat bro in college. but a likable one (he is and always has been a people pleaser after all). getting that strategy tactician degree by day, absolute party animal by night. However his 'party animal' tendencies died down over time as he matured.

He is very comfortable in his sexuality, a lot of people think he is quite feminine in his manner of being. He cares about his appearance a lot and it helps that his PR managers push stage makeup onto him because he genuinely doesn't mind it, he even likes it sometimes (he practically grew up with a little sister, sure she is a genius but what little girl doesn't like putting makeup on her big cousin/ soul brother)

He's not as shallow as he leads people to believe. Colt likes putting on this show for the people around, acting like a big Himbo because when people feel like you have nothing to hide, like your heart is on your sleeve all of the time, they tend to not look into your past all that much.

in reality he is actually a very intuitive and emotionally intelligent person, it helps a lot when trying to get information out of people. He doesn't like giving it that much attention but he is also pretty skilled in what he does, as in detective work and plans (since he always felt like his parents were hiding things from him, he learned how to look for clues and read between the lines at a pretty young age). But since he's got shelly with him most of the time, he feels like there's not much need for his skills since she's so independent and doesn't like when people don't follow her plans.

Shelly

Michelle (Shelly) Torres — again I read this name Torres in that same fanfic and I absolutely loved it, I feel like it's just too late for me to change it, anything else just feels unnatural to me ToT

Doesn't like people to know her real name and very few do, only her mother used to call her that...

In her mid to late 20's (like 27-28)

an ex-child-thief turned vigilante, she doesn't like to talk about her life from 16 to 19.

after she got caught she had the choice to either face 3 years in prison or enroll in the Brawl Academy and help catch rogues alike.

they only gave her the college option because she was outstanding in all of her crimes and even the most experienced of officers at the time couldn't get their hands on her. however luck has it that some idiot newbie sent on his first mission just so happened to stumble upon her and proceed to chase her for a few days until he caught her.

turns out the newbie was also a student at the academy on his first practice mission (even more embarrassing for her in her opinion), but they didn't get to see that much of each other up until they started coincidentally working together at StarrCorp.

Likes to keep up a façade but in the opposite way Colt does. She likes to let others believe she is this unbreakable, ruthless leader who has everything in control all the time. unfortunately for her, there are times where she wants to put less effort in and let somebody else help with the huge headache that is called being a brawler, yet she feels like there is nobody there for her when she needs it. She doesn't really blame anyone else, she knows she did this with her own hands.

contrary to her partner (as in work partner) she puts way more value on being respected rather than being perceived as a nice person. She is not nice by any means but she is good.

she rarely lets people in because she's afraid of getting hurt, she spends most of her time denying any feeling that she ever had for anyone ever. only a few people ever managed to tear her walls (in which she self-isolates all that often) down.

Successful Girl Failure™

Hates all the attention Colt gets and hates the fact that she is jealous of him even more. She knows that it's downright immoral to do that, plus Colt is actually nice to her and treats her like an actual human being rather than a soldier made of titanium like most of the people.

Ok I made Shelly a bit too miserable so im ending this on a nicer note, here are some fluff headcanons

She likes tea. like, a LOT. she has a tea collection with at least 7 types of leafs and flavors in her cupboard at all times. it's like her little ritual at the end of the day, to sit down on her couch with a hot cup of tea and watch tv in peace.

huge huge HUGE literature enthusiast. She loves a good classic, not to mention crime novels.

Was Kit's #1 biggest fan growing up (and sometimes watches his show even now, it's her guilty pleasure shh) and named her cat after him.

on that same note, she's also a cat person. she likes every animal that has ever walked the earth but there's just something about cats... they're so distinguished yet so careless at the same time. their mood cages in .2 milliseconds and and nobody bats an eye, they are truly free. in a way, she wishes she could be more similar to them. like as in the way people perceive her.
