Howdy Anon! Thank you for the ask! This one definitely made me think alot!
The Ask Game
🫶: Who ended up falling first? Which of them actually realized that they'd fallen in love first?
Drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁... Krueger (it was pretty obvious). He spent like a good two months pining for her. He welcomed the feeling of liking her romantically but didn't act on it. He just liked being around her, so he didn't see a reason to change his behavior for her in order to make her like him. It just came naturally.
In terms of love, Nak. She definitely fell in love with him first. Phayvanh knows she's difficult, jealous, stubborn and how her temper gets in the way of properly communicating correctly. But he's just been there despite all of that and pushes her to be better, holds her accountable. And having someone like that, their unrelenting support that she never got, of course she's going to fall in love first.
💧How well do they comfort each other when they're upset?
Krueger has an...Unconventional approach to comforting Nak. Audacity. He doesn't want to force Phayvanh to talk about her problems unless she initiates the discussion.
"Are you crying?"
Voice visibly breaking,"No."
"Ok."
"Wh.. are you not going to ask me what's wrong?"
"Not really. I didn't think through it that far."
Chuckling and sniffling,"Are..are you stupid?"
"A little bit."
"Ask me."
"Okay :)"
If she doesn't want to talk, a hug or just being near her would do. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Nak is learning to be more considerate if other people's deeper feelings. Tears, especially sad tears, make her very uncomfortable, she won't know what to do. She was ridiculously bad at comforting people. Her desperate attempts at consoling Krueger is enough to make him feel better.
So for Funsies here's a list of things Nak did/said trying to comfort Krueger (Chronological order).
- "Ew- augh, God! Why-"
-"Yikes." Then she went to lock herself in the laundry room.
-Just. Stared at him until he stopped being upset.
- Microwaved him leftovers and put on a movie
- "If it makes you feel better I don't have parents either."
-Held his hand for like two hours, they said nothing in that time
-"Do you uh.. want to sleep? I set the thermostat to 22°C so it's warm."
-"you dont have to, I already folded your laundry for you."
-Hugged him, no words exchanged
-"I don't like it when you cry. But I know you need to."
-"No it's ok, you're not bothering me."
Anddd that's it :3 Thank you for asking!
Look at them!! They look like a family :(( . Cutest piece you’ve done vasya.
"Is he heavy?"
"Like a couple of grapes."
"Want to keep him?"
"Don't joke."
"Not joking."
"I thought you hated kids."
"Only when they cry and scream and.."
"Just generally exist."
"Yea."
"Why ask, then?"
"I like seeing you hold'em."
Creator Note: This is just an excuse to draw Nak with a baby. Baby is not theirs, I would be sad to have a portion of Krueger's Genes/J

GRRRR THEY MAKE ME ANGRY! STOP BEING KINDA CUTE!
Privet! Could you give us more headcanons abt Vernon and AM? Such an interesting dynamic you have, can't help it but wish there were more!
Привет привет! Thank you so much for the ask, I'm so happy you enjoy my dynamics of the two :D 💞💞 it really motivates me!
VernonAM Headcanons 🏺🖥️
Upon getting AM getting a body, the Food and clothing situation in the complex significantly improved since it SUCKED having his senses filled with God awful smells.
Vernon often shares her meals with AM. She doesn't know why she does it, she knows he doesn't need food to survive. But she often finds herself cutting off little portions of her meal for him to try.
AM often latches his fingers onto the end of Vernon's tank top so his body doesn't stray behind. She's a fast walker and won't come back for him if he gets lost.
Their Glasses Match! AM's yellow lenses aren't for eyesight or eye protection like Vernon's. He chose for them to be similar in lens colour so they could be matching.
AM occasionally calls Vernon by her actual name, Veomany. Since he's a primarily English supercomputer, AM sees Lao as a language with strange noises and amuses himself with it. It's a pretty noise.
It's extremely difficult to get into Vernon's mind for information. She doesn't dream, she doesn't recall them easily. AM can only access a small portion of it, her fear. He stopped trying after the first 30 years. So AM has to find out for himself by talking to her and actually getting to know her.
Vernon has no shame. AM has plenty of it. She finds it a little strange that he covers his eyes whenever she changes for laundry. It's cute, He values her privacy. However he's definitely seen her naked decades before so she doesn't understand why he does it now.
And that's all for now! If you made it this far, thank you for reading! If there's any room for clarification please tell me :D

Enlisted in the LPAF by her Uncle's wishes to "Carve a better path for herself". Was not liked by her peers for her cocky attitude, overly aggressive tactics, and habit of prioritizing her personal safety over the team.
After 3 years of service in the LPAF, excelling in Close Quarters Combat, dishonorably discharged due to repeated physical altercations among teammates. Spent the next 6 months back to working for Kapano Vang despite his reluctance, eventually fleeing to Urzikstan after an argument with Vang about difference in beliefs, multiple people injured; their relationship has been strained ever since.
During her time her path crossed with Nikolai, in search of work she signed a long term contract with Chimera, with one year of service.
Shown to exhibit signs of social anxiety and difficulty forming close relationships around people her age. Inherited Kapano Vang's short temper in combat, though more relaxed outside of it.

Relationship with Family: Nak still idolizes her uncle to an extent, but the more that she's out in the world,the more she realizes that he isn't a good person. Nak’s mother wasn’t present in life. Her uncle took her in after mother wasn’t able to care for her. Naga trained her at a very young age; he thought it was best if she was strong in their lifestyle.
Pet: Cat person, never was allowed to have pets but she would throw scraps of food to strays.
Myers Briggs Type: ESTJ-T
Nak is an extroverted introvert, she likes and enjoys talking to people, however it drains her energy quickly since she's not used to talking to people in such a casual manner. Things like talking business she’s more used to.
Adaptable
A quick thinker, Nak is able to carry out missions by finding creative solutions to make sure her operations are successful. Outside of the battlefield her adaptability allows her to have better communication with people, even with her social anxiety.
Pragmatic
Nak strives to make the most effective solutions so it’s easier on her in the future. Her decision making skills ensure that she’ll survive in the field and outside of it.
Responsible
Living on her own, Nak is responsible, she can’t relax unless all her work is done beforehand. As she starts forming close relationships with people, she realizes that she likes taking care of people.
Stubborn
Starting out Nak isn’t a very good teamplayer. She doesn’t like others telling her what to do or how to do things so she’s stubborn in a way that she’s adamant about what she wants but adaptable with what methods are needed.
Judgemental
Her formative years with Naga didn’t allow her to trust people, because of the Golden Triangle Cartel she has a habit of being overly critical of others.
Paranoid Perfectionist
Nak is self-demanding, she doesn’t take failure lightly. This leads to her paranoia of not being properly prepared. She becomes aggressive out of frustration if her ability isn’t to her liking.
Nak is a shortened version of “phayanak” the mythical water serpent in Laos, it’s also the Lao pronunciation of “Naga” which is her Uncle’s name in the field.
Her face paint draws reference to how snake teeth are shown in Phayanak statues. There are multiple snake motifs in her design. Is the design practical? No, she just likes standing out in that way.
Nak cuts her own bangs (long blunt bangs) she doesn’t trust anyone with cutting them.
Has a lot of upper body and lower body strength; she can lift things heavier than her and calisthenics skills (handstands, full planches, etc.)
Often, most people's First impressions of her is that she's "Unsettling."
I eat my own heart
Holding myself from fanboying a liiitle bit too much at a convention today as i met Nolan North, then both of us proceeded to talk about the final shape dlc
I have a question.
On Vernon, with the fact that we know she's a literal sadomasocist, (I think I said that right...) I'm just curious as to why or how this may have come up. Had she always been this "messed up in the head," as to say, or did she develop her morbid curiosity from an event that changed her?
Howdy Howdy! Thank you so much for the ask!💞💞 My Laotian ocs always have some aspect on Lao culture and history. So 2 in 1, you also get a very brief history lesson!
Had Vernon always been like this?
I believe she was always like this, some people are born the way that they are, and the environment they were raised in can further encourage or discourage their behaviors. If it wasn't for the circumstances of her environment, she might've had the chance to change.
Vernon is born in 1952, A year before Laos gained its independence as a nation (before that, the French recolonized, and before THAT, the Japanese).
For the first six years of her life, Vernon was raised lucky by all means; Rich family, A loving mother and father, grandparents that doted on her, etc. she was well liked by her peers for being friendly, charismatic, and extremely intelligent.
Vernon always exhibited a certain cruelty in her play as a child. She would rip off limbs of insects and line them up, have lizards drop their tails to look at the inside of it, peel back the skin of hers/other's cuts and scrapes. Vernon's parents disciplined her of course, it's just what some kids did at the time and that was their job to fix that.
It wasn't until 1960, one year into the Lao Civil War, when she first witnessed devastation. It wasn't much, Vernon (8) didn't see anything but the rubble of homes and buildings. But there was a little urge in her that wanted to see if there was anything left in them she could keep.
She was caught digging through the rubble of a neighbor's house. Her parents, were furious. She wasn't allowed to leave their side now, they were worried sick, her behavior was subdued for the convenience of her parents.
Four years later, 1964 Americans were now dropping bombs to fight the communist uprising in Laos. A planeload of cluster bombs dropped every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day. Vernon (12) saw death, the smell of ashes, burning hair and skin, limbs strewn about. She was terrified, but fascinated. It was meat, it used to be a person but now it's nothing but flesh. She wished she could've held it for a little bit, poked it, dissect it.
Her parents were already planning to leave Laos due to the tension from the civil war over the years, but now? They had to move fast, gathering what money they had to go to Thailand and taking a boat to America. They got out within the first 4 months.
Vernon lived a relatively normal life in Sacramento. Excelling in school, having a good group of friends. It wasn't until she landed her job as an Archeologist that her behavior, subdued for years, went haywire. Her job was just an outlet for it.
If you got this far, thank you for reading :D I tend to ramble a lot so if there's anything you'd like for me to clarify feel free to tell me!
