And for my next trick, ill combine my two, current, favourite obsessions:
PHM × SQCU!
Where Midas had to literally be chased down and have the gem forced onto their head to become the next Quixis and then left in the Worldport to do the job :)
(Edit/update):
Oh OH-
Midas also threatening to "sabotage the mission" and they actually do by delaying to go to Icarus and bring them in (it wasnt meant to get that bad though)

In true Sherbverse fashion, i made a little chart of my own, the "Scared - Obedient Chart"
Top, "Obedient" :
Who is most likely to 'follow the rules', do the job as Quixis, no questions asked, whose willing to do whats necessary to protect the worlds
Bottom, "Rebelious":
Whose more willing to ignore the dangers for petty and/or emotional reasons and disrespect the title and even the Entity. Whose causes more problems rather than solving them
Left, "Scared/Intimidated":
Who is scared of the power and/or The Entity, who will act on or even be paralised by fear and who will be terrified of what the Entity is capable of, who can be intimidated to do tasks
Right, "unafraid",
Who will not let this role and Entity affect their decisions and who can act on their own, not just as an independent thinker, but as someone who wont get pushed around.
The 'Certain' ones are obviously, Reo, Midas, Icarus & Shebert (maybe Martyr too), the others are based off vibes and what little lore i know.
Examples of the chart:
Midas was terrified of the Entity and its power, thus was willing to do whatever they had to until they were free. They followed the rules out of fear of what could/would gappen. MIdas tried to stand their ground and faced repercussions, the entire time still scared of the Entity. They literally thought they would die by its hand.
Reo, was a good Quixis and did what they had to, but they would fight the Entity specifically, about the tasks just about every time. They would argue just to spite it and when The Entity argued back, it was like Reo would get choked each time, thus forcing them to fall in line. Reo thinks they are more bottom-left corner, but they aren't. They act tough and would claim to not be their little puppet soldier, but they were still scared and still did the job well, for their versions sake.
Icarus, did the job, but after everything with Fable having just happened, they were able to stand their ground a bit better and despite what they saw happen with Midas, they refused to take any shit from The Entity. They would still test and experiment with things here and there, but was quick to fix it, but it was never by the Entitys "command".
Its my headcanon that Martyr is where they are now, but after The Fight (iykyk) they move down significantly as they'd be sick of Gods shot by that point.
As i mentioned, Reo, Midas, Icarus and Sherbert are pretty accurate to the story, but where the others are placed is probably for someone with better knowledge on Sherb-lore to deterine lol
But this was a fun chart to make and did help me with their characters throughout UCW and hopefully (made sense) and shone a bit of light to where the characters were at, mentally!

EVERYONE HAD BETTER GO AND READ @burntouttransgender2 s new Kaleidoscope fic that continues off my cmv! ITS SO SOFT AND FLUFFY AND CUTE! AND OH THE DETAILS THEY ADDED-
In Under Cosmic Watch, a big detail is that the Entity doesn't talk. Its not capable of communication, at least by traditional methods.
However I do have thoughts on if they did and why they dont talk...
So in cannon Quixis cannonicly talks with a bit if a glitch 'filter' over their voice, you'll notice that is never brought up in UCW.
At first, it was because I just... straight up forgot to add that detail in😅
The original plan was to give Quixis the glitchy voice and play it out like their voice was glitchy, but also sounded like multiple people were speaking through them, try to show that they also have the Entitys voice and thats why its glitchy.
The Entity doesnt technically have a physical form (or mouth outline) thus no vocal chords, so it would have spoke through Quixis. Not in a "Quixis would start saying things out of their control" but more of a, "Quixis and the Entity are 2 halves of a being, but the vessels are the ones with the voice".
I scrapped the idea of trying to fit it in and left it normal, so Sherbs still keep their voice. Another reason i scrapped it was in hopes that it would add to the ominous horror vibe.
Now why doesn’t the Entity speak?
Again, its has no physical form, so no vocal chords. But its way of communicating is a little tricky to explain, but i hope it makes sense...
Think of the connection between The Entity and Quixis like a bunch if strings...
That sensation they get (ie Midas' neck getting chills), when in contact or they know they're being watched by The Entity, is one thread/string.
The Entity recognises this and thinks, "OK, so this is the string you associate with me, I'll use the same string for you", so it tugs back on that thread to "talk" to them. The harder the tug, the sharper the feeling, almost like its way of yelling, being firm.
Now its not every time Midas feels the chills that its the Entity tugging on the thread (most of the time it is just general chills and uneasiness) but it does use this "sensory thread" to communicate.
It is an unpleasant feeling for Quixis, but its not its intention to hurt them, again, this thread is picked via association. It doesnt fully grasp that it is a more bad thing for Quixis because the Entity doesn't feel (both physically and emotionally) like the vessels do - at least not in the same way. Its logical, purpose and practical, to use this thread, a thread Quixis already associates with them, is just a logical desicion for it.
Now, for the voice claim...
If it did talk, I imagined a heavily, distorted, glitchy voice (in a high fancy production view, if you listened close enough youd hear the voices of all the different Sherbs speaking and at certain points you could pick out a specific one more than the others) and when i thought, "Eldritch/cosmic horror, glitchy voice", my first thought was The Soverigns from Redacted Audios videos...
TW: This video has distorted speaking - words on screen to help understand- and glitching
The "your belief is irrelevant" line, is the first thing that played in my mind when I was thinking of its voice...
The Entity still wouldn't have a visible mouth, but I imagine its aura outline would flicker and get a little brighter as it spoke.
(Also fun fact, someone did an edit to this audio and I used it in a tiktok when cosplaying Icarus and Mixis and explained this was my voice claim for Quixis - this was way before we knew anything about them)
