I love that circuit idea a lot!

Though I don't think there would be a robot elemental (at least not at the moment, Peni might be the first one if that is the case!). I can see her and her powers being a biological milestone for the world, showing that the magic of the world is evolving to incorporate robots into it a lot more (which goes into another ask I got recently about bio-robots I will answer soon lol).

Technically not a robot, but there are definitely a lot of similarities and a heightened connection to tech that Peni has that has made a lot of people wonder if kit was a secret robot (mainly kits peers).

Anyway! I like the idea that there are some skin conditions that show the inside of the body. I already showed this with Daray, whose skin shows his skeleton off. So Peni has a similar one (or maybe it's the same condition just a different specificity) that shows her nervous system (or like, the more major parts of the nervous system like how Daray's skin doesn't show every single bone).

That skin condition, along with Peni's tech magic combined to make kits styling more robotic/mechanical looking (like a circuit board) while also allowing kits eyes, nerve markings, and hair to actually glow (which can dim down at times or even brighten up).

All of this to say, technically Peni is not a robot elemental as those haven't really been seen before now, as robots are a fairly new phenomenon in the scope of the world. But now that robots and technology is a much bigger part of the world (with all the new tech, robots, EDM music, stuff like that), the world is evolving to reflect this change and it is showing a lot in the newer generations.

Not only does it have the audacity to slowly crawl towards me. Nope, it keeps falling and dangling on a tiny thread just to tease me, before crawling up again to stick its butt back at the ceiling.

Now it's looming right above my head trying yo decide if it should just drop itself on me or not.

Gona be honest with you, when I first saw that comment/ask thing earlier in the week, I thought it was for a Yinu and Peni swap, as tumblr cut off the full ask before it got to the JJK part, and so I immediately started thinking of things like Yinu killing her dad with plants and Peni being a prodigy techno kid or something.

But um, yea! I like that swap! I didn't look back at those original asks (i think it was multiple) that were sent before answering this!

Though, I honestly don't like to change ages all that much in swap AUs, unless it is something that can't be avoided, so it would be hard to have a swap AU that you are suggesting.

However, I am not totally against it!

Therte would have to be a MAJOR overhall to the universe though to make this happen. Since Yinu and Peni would probably be a bit older and possibly Noir being younger, while SaShiSu being younger overall in this AU.

Mainly I say an overhaul becauise Catherine was friends with Miguel and the whole Nueva York thing is pretty important to SaShiSu's story (and Peni's story).

Hmmm... I don't think I have the brain power to think of this all that much at the moment. But it definitely is a thinker! I think more would have to be swapped around in this case than just these three pairs for this kind of AU to work (I mean i could just make it work but I like thinking about this stuff way more intensly)

OH! YOu know what would be cool? Having Mama be in Miquel's place having Yinu be like a prodigy at controlling her powers, liek a shining example of what Nueva York (or whatever it would be called) could be for others!

Yinu ends up having a lot more freedom because she is Catherin's daughter and has pretty good control over her powers (other than killign her dad by accident) and she makes friends somehow with Peni and Noir!

The three do some shady business shit somehow, idk what, maybe selling flowers that Yinu makes and it turns out to be poisonous without Yinu realizing and she ends up killing people, or at least harming enough people, that the outside world can't ignore and so Catherine has to fully confine Yinu and her friends.

All the while Satoru is being paraded around as a prodigy violinist or something like that who plays for the Gojo family and NSR. Blue has friends with Shoko and Suguru who help with creating beats and stuff, but are very much more behind the scenes.

Instead of Neon J being the one to care the most about Yinu, it would be DJSS caring about Satoru and friends. So possibly a change in NSR is needed as well. But that is a later information piece to deal with that I can't process now!

Fun fact! Ham and Noir were actually gonna be in that "Game Night" picture with Hobie (so was Lyla) but I ran out of space and didn't want to make a second page for a simple joke comic.

Definitely still workshopping Noir. They are basically gonna look like the comic version of themself. Messy hair, glasses, probably wears some googles every now and then (Noir on a motorcyle is definitely something I would like to draw, if I could draw bikes lol).

Ham on the other hand is very much NOT like her comic or even movie version. Mainly because the very cartoony stylization that Ham has won't perfectly fit with NSR. I was debating on having them more animal-like, kinda like Ellie, but idk, I liked this design I cam up with.

I think I have another ask for Ganke's design, so I just did something quick for this ask. But this is the first thing that came to my mind lol!

First thing that came to mind was Miles and Gwen. Kine went off of some comic designs for them, probably gonna change these designs a bit when I take my time with any adult designs later.

That could definitely be a way to go! I hadn't thought about it like a chase scene, though I doubt all the Arachnikids would have ran from Miguel (I can definitely see Hobie and Noir wanting to stand and fight instead of running away).

Maybe something happens where the Arachnikids make it to Miguel and try to attack him, only for him to just take their attacks and not be phased by it (like even Hobie's sonic boom barely made Miguel flinch) and that it what makes them decide to try and run to think of a better plan (queue the chase scene).

Don't know why you are saying people in cages though. Nueva York doesn't put people in like legit cages. Isolation rooms, yes (which is still not good but not an open air cage), so they couldn't really cheer.

Plus, with how angry Miguel is, I doubt a LOT of people would be cheering on the Arachnikids in fear that Miguel would switch his anger to them OR if he won then he would come after the cheerers (there would definitely be some cheering though, and some yelling out advice or telling Miguel to stop).

This also makes me wonder how much people know about what is going on. Like just seeing a bunch of teens run in the hall, using their powers while Miguel rips and tears apart the building running after them. That has to be a fucking weird and possibly terrifying thing to see if you have no idea what is going on.

Unless the Arachnikids actually made a huge announcement, most residents and even the average scientist and counselor wouldn't know what the fuck is going on.
