Pirateshippotato - I Wrote Something Once - Tumblr Blog
oh that’s really interesting, I knew there was some reason I really liked the infinights designs, and you put why into words really nicely
one complaint i have about the newer campaigns of tftsd is that there is always one character who looks way to modern and out of place lol
Late but I've been w/o power for the last few days (wrong time to visit family -.-)

I’m not completely sold on this other brush, but it was fun to mess around with
TFTSD Campaign 3: Kanon Portraits
I'll update them if any details are wrong as we learn more about each character but here's my interpretation based off the reveals!
Took a guess on some of the eye colours as the reveal image was a bit small for me to see :')
Im starting early on the new campaign fanart just need that final reveal...
Just a W.I.P at the moment
watch me try to have cool line weight in my drawings
Kyborg is my go to subject when I’m drawing anything
yeahhh, you make a good point, I'm very unknowledgeable about this kinda stuff, I can't pretend I know what I'm talking about, I think I might just be biased towards Scottish because of mudd
question
so most of my ocs have a canonical nationality if they lived on earth. (i like to not make a big deal about it in story beats because subtle representation and what have you)
ex, Joseph is Korean, Lexie is Native American. Katherine is of Demonic lineage. Chai is a little vague, but of hispanic origin.
anyway can someone help me decide what nationality Claire and Luke would be?? they are both light skinned with black hair, and luke has freckles.
(i didnt give him freckles in this one shh)
after a quick google search I could see like Scottish or Irish, something like that

Ok, I know that people ( @pirateshippotato ) have said that kyborg could be Odysseus, and he totally is, but Chip could totally also be Ody, just because of how much he loves his wife. Like, look me in the eyes and tell me that Chip wouldn’t sing about how much he misses his wife and how he would do anything to see her again, even if that meant becoming the monster. You can’t, because that’s the most Chip thing ever.
Barbie and Ken? How about Brink and Kyborg
A nice Brinkborg drawing to finish kyborg week (I'm a day late ignore that)
This is my idea for what a interns trauma candy salad might looks like
Bart: “hi I’m Bart and I raised a kid when I was 8 because neither of us had parents and I brought the bowl”
Mudd: “Hi I’m mudd and my memory got wiped by a bunch of rocks and I’m bringing the dirt”
Gum Gum “Hi, im gum gum and my mom is a god and I’m bringing the gum”
Kyborg “hi I’m kyborg and my entire village got murdured and my arm got chopped off by quadron and I brought the sour patch kids”
Bart “hi I’m Bart again and my parents got taken by a shadow queen and I brought the skittles”
Mudd “hi I’m mudd and my mentor tried to kill me and my dad and I brought more dirt”
Gum gum “hi I’m gum gum and one time I ate a worm and it was really wriggly and scary and I brought the skittles”
Kyborg “hi I’m kyborg and I spent 30 years in a forest without any other people mourning my family and i brought the gummy worms”
Gum gum : “ WORMS?!”
Kyborg “yeah???”
Bart “didn’t you know gum gum is afraid of worms?”
Kyborg “no?”
Gum gum “ BART HELP THE WORMS ARE COMING TO ATTACK ME” * starts running around and swinging his axe*
Bart “Don’t worry they’re just candy, see” *eats a gummy worm*
“ NOW THEY’RE GOINF TO KILL BOTH OF US!!!MUDD YOU KNOW ANIMALS, HELP!!!!”
Bart “don’t worry buddy, I’m fine”
Mudd *eats a gummy worm and then turns into a worm*
Gum gum “ OH MY GOODNESS MUDD HAS BEEN TURNED INTO ONE OF THEM”
Kyborg *stunned*
Kyborg Day 7 - Free day/Canon Divergence
KYDRON AU COMIC YIPPEE
I wish I could make digital comics so bad but I suck at spacing on IBIS paint
Kyborg Week Day 3- Reliving the past (and a little bit of revenge)
(Takes places sometime before Arc 5)
It had been twenty years. Kyborg could hardly believe it, but twenty years ago, to this day, his family had been slaughtered by Quadron. And he hadn’t done anything about it.
A voice snapped Kyborg out of his thoughts. “You know you’re supposed to be on look out, right Kyborg?” Bart teased.
Trying to keep his composure and push back the memories, Kyborg took a deep breath of the cool night air before plastering his famous smirk on his face. “Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Looking around the camp, he noted Gum Gum sitting by the fire with Mudd across from him, watching over the food Barr had been previously cooking.
“Well, sense you’re not that busy right now, dinner is ready.”
Kyborg smiled at Bart. “I’ll be a minute,” he said, desperate to get away from the others. He didnt want them to see him like this, about to cry, thoughts of the past distracting him.
“Nope. I’m hungry and Gum Gum refuses to eat without everyone.” Bart grabbed Kyborg’s hand and started pulling him along.
Reluctantly, Kyborg let himself be lead to the fire, sitting next to Mudd and Bart. Gum Gum proudly passed him a plate, and Kyborg gave him a halfhearted smile. Pushing his food around on the plate, Kyborg lost himself in his thoughts.
It was nothing terrible at first, just playing with his sister, helping his father chop wood, learning to shoot a bow with his mother. Still, he knew what happened later.
No! Kyborg shook his head. He wouldn’t let the memories win this time. But it was a futile attempt.
Bart said something that had the others laughing, but Kyborg couldn’t hear it. All he could focous on was his breath, the memories crowding his mind. His vision became fuzzy, and, in his mind’s eye, all Kyborg could see was Quadron and his Squadron.
Kydelius held is mother’s body as it grew cold. His sister and father lay just a few feet away. Quadron had done this. Quadron had slaughtered Kydelius’ village and murdered his family. Quadron would pay.
Despite the tears falling down his cheeks, Kydelius held his mother’s bow steady, taking aim. The arrow flew true, hitting Quadron directly in the eye. Quadron whipped around to see who that had been, and, spotting Kydelius, pinned him to the ground.
“I think it's a fair trade,” Quadron said, leaning down so Kydelius was forced to look into those monstrous orange eyes. “An eye… for an arm!”
With that, Quadron brought his crude sword down onto Kydelius’ shoulder, moving it back and forth in swift, painful movements. More tears fell down Kydelius’ cheek as he let out a scream. With one final jerk of one of his own, Quadron ripped off Kydelius’ arm before walking into the woods, leaving Kydelius bleeding out in the snow.
With whatever remained of his strength, Kydelius crawled over to the cold body of his mother. Even as unconsciousness pulled at him, Kydelius whispered a promise to her.
“I will get revenge for you. For all of us. I will kill Quadron.”
But he never did. He never even got close.
“-borg! Kyborg!” A hand on his shoulder Kydelius- no, Kyborg- out of his thoughts. Tears still ran down his face, and Kyborg desperately tried to wipe them away.
His three party members stood in front of Kyborg, Bart’s hand still on his shoulder.
Seeing Kyborg reacting, Bart asked carefully, “Hey, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, really. Just, ya’know, thinking about… stuff.” Kyborg was sure the others would have believed him if his voice hadn’t cracked at the end.
“Kyborg, mate, we can’t help you if you don’t tell us what’s going on.” Surprisingly, Mudd didn’t sound judgmental, just concerned.
It was clear that they weren’t about to let him go, and, after a moment of trying, and failing, to come up with a believable lie, Kyborg sighed.
“It really isn’t a big deal, but, twenty years ago today, my-… I-… he….” As Kyborg took a shaky breath, failing, yet again, to hold back tears, Gum Gum gently wrapped his arms around Kyborg. He gave Gum Gum a greatful smile before continuing. “Quadron slaughtered my village and my-y family…” Another deep breath. “He killed them twenty years ago and I-… I haven’t done anything to avenge them. To make him pay.” Kyborg was openly wearing now, to tired to fight it anymore. “I haven’t done anything for them.”
Silence stretched over the party for a few moments before Bart spoke up. “You have us now. We will help you.”
Mudd nodded. “He’ll pay for what he did.”
“We won’t let Quadron hurt anyone else,” Gum Gum said.
Slowly, Kyborg nodded. “Thanks guys.” He smiled a bit. “We will end him.”
And, for the first time in many years, he had faith in his promise again.
Kyborg Week Day 5-He Has His Mother's Eyes
"If you ever do want to know exactly what your mother looked like,"
yes that is a Magnus Archives reference what about it
This is perfect, have a drawing for it
This is my attempt at a brinkborg wedding cake that just tuned into a mini cake and some cupcakes with my ideas for the wedding under this
Bart would be the officiant/wedding planner/musician
Dr.Ahem/ maybe Bart or mudd would walk kyborg down the use
Gum Gum would be the flower person and gumbo would help out
Fred and Hannibal would be the ring bearers (
Mudd would be kyborgs best man
Pearlite would be Brinks best man
Sleique would have been really sad he wasn’t the best man and spectril would have to convince him he was still wanted. kyborg would have tried to give him a fake date but everyone else would have felt bad and he would have eventually came and helped Bart with the music and kyborg would have pretended it was bad music but he would actually love it.
(To be possibly continued)
Kyborg Week, day 6: Steampunk AU
This is my first time drawing steampunk anything, and I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out
And some of the original sketches:
The robot eye is inspired by the 'evil inginights' drawing from @drearygenie
I did run into the issue that I don't think kyborg would wear a top hat, but I decided brink would look good in a top hat
Kyborg week, day 5: “he has his mothers eyes”
I feel like this would mean more if the eyes I drew weren’t literal dots, but I still like the idea, now I can just pray people can read the writing
Apparently they removed half-elfs in dnd 2024, so I guess rip my two half elf characters
Kyborg week, day 3: Reliving the Past (also kinda revenge but not really)
I guess this could also kinda be “he has his mothers eyes/for evirwinter” but you know
GUYS DID YOU SEE
Hermes falling for Hera is canon in my head now.
Anything Troy does as Hermes is canon to me and I don't care. I love him so much
psychoanalyzing paralyte (my favorite kinnie)
(i do have kyborg week's day 3 but ill post it tmr)
(obvious spoilers for up to the very end of infinights)
prattle is obviously pretty neglectful of luce, because his priority was always boulderay
even when he reached out to luce after he left, it was for the sake of boulderay. he couldnt care less that she had a life outside him. also the fact that they meet in the sangrianite mines, meaning he's already distrusting her power. then why does he want her to be mayor? he figures that AHEm can shape her into a perfect mayor (he did it for brink, meaning he was already trained to teach people how to turn into leaders). what matters is that prattle would rather put the lives of luce and all the innocent people working in the mines than trust his daughter not to hurt him.
and after Luce has her big tantrum(i only bully her because i kin her), prattle asks her to help these random people become diplomats even though she herself wouldve likely done a better job. so Luce thinks he still doesnt trust her to do that job right. that makes Luce bitter.
so she fucking steals prized artifacts from the countries boulderay is supposed to ally with !! and mayor prattle, does he care that his daughter just committed a crime? NO ! he cares that a crime was committed and now he has to clean up after it. if he had ANY faith in her, if he believed that she had potential to change, he wouldve held her accountable. but why would he? shes not his problem. shes a threat to boulderay and everything will blow over once she dies.
she doesn't care about prattle's well being either. i mean, she knows he's dying and she put locked him up into a cold prison. hes just a weird delusional old man to her. and when she executes her plan, the people who she was supposed to count on, the infinights, rejected her. (ik this isnt chronological shh) and this is where she parallels her father. as soon as they stopped listening to her, the infinights became tools. they are pawns that if she plays right, can be used in her favor. but you know, i think she still was rooting for them somewhat (grisleve, ifykyk).
so when she went to jail, was she remorseful? NO! so the big money: why was she doing all this?
easy. she didnt want to be a leader. she didnt want to help people. she wanted to prove Prattle wrong. she wanted to prove that she could do what he did and better. little miss luce "im here once again to save everyone's ass" prattle built herself a savior complex with her insecurity.
and what i found super interesting was her character arc. because she obviously didn't become a more moral person. (murder, still believes she's a great leader, still using her gloves, etc). what changed about her was her motivation. she stopped believing she needed to prove prattle wrong.
ok ill stop projecting now
