#this is

An already existing thing in Umamusume itself is that claw machines can have a plushie you can claw out, with multiple other plushies attached to them, usually 1-2.

But there are rare chances where when you claw a plushie, you'll see there are more attached to it.

A small add on to this is that the plushies with other plushies attached to them can show the relationship between the given plushies you pulled for and the ones attached to it. It could show their dynamic, like friendship, associates, family, relatives, etc.

Another small add on, which is somewhat in the game too, is that depending on the personality of the uma, their plushie would be in a given position that shows their personality type. Sometimes the plushie could be upside down because the uma has a quirky personality. The plushie could also be turned sideways in between the others, like they're sleeping, because their personality trait is lazy.

So look out for the umas who are known for being social butterflies, or at least associated with big groups of others. When you see them in the claw machine game you would want to pull for them to have a chance of getting more plushies!

You could say that how easily the extra plushies fall off the main one could mirror the relationship between those umas. How they hold onto the main plushie could showcase a strong bond

now , i do enjoy keeping an air of mystery around forces beyond the ken of men , as overexplanation dulls the subject , sometimes. but what little is known of the bloodstone emperor and some magical practices , such as the warlocks of the house of the undying for example , makes me deeply want to incorporate themes of cosmic horror which may or may not be alien. ( pondering the shade of the evening as it is being described by daenerys as feeling alive , writhing , and , really , beyond her grasp ... bloodborne old blood / blood dregs anyone ? ) asshai is said to be built of a black and oily stone , and while that might as well be the aftermath of whatever magical cataclysm has taken place there , i was also thinking about the bloodstone emperor worshiping a black stone that fell from the heavens.

now , mordú is not directly from asshai , but a small temple settlement in the mountains close to it where the dôlguzir cult has settled ( there is lore on the dôlguzir in mo's canon verse on my blog. essentially they are the practicing death cult on númenor , and fill similar shoes in awoiaf ). the dôlguzir are made up of a variety of different peoples , and a variety of different magic practitioners bringing together their crafts. which is how mordú is knowledgeable in a variety of arts. the dôlguzir believe that the night sky is the tapestry between this world and the next , and that it has been wounded by the transgressions of the first men on earth ( making their beliefs related to the legends of the scribes of yin and the beliefs of the followers of r'hllor ). thus causing forces from Outside to bleed into the world , and bring with them powers and knowledge not inherent to mankind. in their belief that is neither good nor bad inherently , but it is quite about intent , means to and end and if one is willing and able to pay the price these powers demand. they do largely worship bakkalon , the pale child , and believe that the tapestry may be pierced to find solace and an eternal existence ( not necessarily 'Life' ) in the arms of death. to them black stone is the blood of the night sky , and not only it but dragons too arrived as the wound bled upon earth. thus dragons are messengers between the worlds and coveted.
